Monument record TR 34 SW 1986 - Canteen and Regimental Institute of the Grand Shaft Barracks, Western Heights, Dover
Summary
Most of the original ancillary structures, comprising stores, canteens, workshops, gardens etc. stood on terraces to the west of the main steps. On the lower terrace there were a series of structures, originally free standing, but by 1925, the gaps between them had been filled with further additions and extensions, the result was a continuous range of buildings. The canteen and regimental institute was located at the southern end of the terrace, at the south western side of the parade ground.
