Opposite the top end of Hillsborough Barracks; Hatton Road ? Hammerton Road ?

Recognise the building, just never knew it was a soldiers home - postmark dated 1909, addressed to Mrs Pankhurst, Dartford, Kent.

From memory it has been a Boy's Club from at least the nineteen fifties. Looking at the dated image on Google Maps it's still something similar.

From the image it would seem that they're big on martial arts but I hope they don't make too much vibration because from the look of that crack running up the middle of the building it may soon be two boy's clubs.
