Pett Artillery Guns
The Gun Shed, Pett Road
From Zoe Vahey’s booklet ‘A History of Pett’
‘The brick built shed in the field next to the Two Sawyers (opposite Fairlight End) housed the gun of the local corps, of the Cinque Ports Division of the Sussex Artillery Volunteers. This appears to have been disbanded around 1908. The team of volunteers under Co. Dennett won a shield at Shoeburyness and a billiard table which they had to sell as they couldn’t get it home.’
