Designed by Major H. W. Sanders and constructed in 1914 at a cost of £4,000. Sanders was the Surveyor to the Territorial Association in the county of Sussex, he also designed and built other drill halls around Sussex including halls in Newhaven, Brighton and Rye, which have since been demolished.

The Drill Hall resembles a toy fort by virtue of its castellated roofscape, arrow slits, decorative heraldic shield and castle-like arched entrance. The façade is of a robust red brick with stone dressings including quoins to the central bay.

Built for the local Territorial Artillery, Engineers, Rifles and Yeomanry in the First World War. It was used as an extension to an existing Drill Hall built 1901 by Joseph Barker Wall to the east; this was demolished in 2006.
