Second World War Territorial Army drill hall on the eastern side of Springhead Road, Northfleet. It was built in 1939 as part of a general movement at the end of the 1930s to provide training facilities for an expanded army reserve, in anticipation of a war with Germany. It is no longer extant. Orientated broadly north-south, it was a two storey red-brick building in neo-Georgian style, with a ceramic tiled pitched roof. Inside was a central hall for instruction, with side rooms providing lavatories, offices and stores. Outside there were other lighter single storey structures and garages. There were also areas for vehicle parking. The drill hall lasted in military training use until about 1965, its last occupier being a light anti-aircraft battery. It subsequently became a sports and leisure centre for Gravesend Council but was demolished in the mid-1980s to make way for private housing. There are no visible traces of the drill hall.
