Monument record 1531850 - The post-medieval to 21st century military firing ranges at Hythe
Summary
The post-medieval to 21st century military firing ranges at Hythe. The range was established in 1853 as the practice ranges for the newly established Hythe School of Musketry (renamed Small Arms School in 1919). These ranges are some of the oldest ranges in the country and used for live firing for nearly 200 years. The ranges were visible on historical aerial photographs showing their Second World War defences, while the Ordnance Survey maps show the ranges development over time.
