'C' Squadron (Queen's Own) West Kent Yeomanry used the Corn Exchange Tunbridge Wells as a drill hall. This was listed in Kelly (?1914) as 'West Kent (Queen's Own) Yeomanry (C Squadron), head quarters, Corn Exchange, 49 Ye Pantiles.'

The Victoria road drill hall was used by 'Queen's Own, Royal West Kent Regiment, 1st Volunteer [later 4th] Battalion (D & E companies)' (Kelly 1891), 'E Company & Machine Gun Section Kent Cyclist Battalion' (Kelly 1913) and possibly as a drill station by 'B' Squadron Sussex Yeomanry

Victoria Road drill hall was demolished to make way for the Victoria shopping centre.
