Second World War Defended Locality DL107, Halls factory site, Dartford, Kent. It was probably designated in 1940 and decommissioned in 1944. There are no traces of the defences. This was probably for protection of the factory complexes but perhaps also with a wider role for Dartford and the London road through it. The garrison was 200, with 120 rifles, 6 BLA, 1 Northover Projector and 2 TGs. (2)
