The Drill Hall was built in 1869 for the Cinque Ports Artillery Volunteers, incorporated into the Territorial Force in 1908 and renamed the Territorial Army. The drill hall was used as a Territorial Army Centre and later became home to the Sandwich detachment of the Kent Army Cadet Force. Recently the hall has been listed as an asset of community value and now houses a pizza restaurant and offices. Sandwich is a historic town in Kent, situated on the River Stour, 11½ miles east of Canterbury and 10½ miles north of Dover. Once a major port, one of the Cinque Ports, the town is now 2 miles inland due to the silting up of the Wantsum Channel. The town has a great many medieval buildings and was once home to a great many Flemish settlers. In Sandwich Bay are two world-class golf courses.
