The Military Tavern was situated on Military Road. This pub closed in 1963.

The Military Tavern was in Military Road opposite the War Memorial and diagonally opposite the Fleur de Lis. My Grandad was the Sandgate Baker and lived above his shop in the High Street next door but one to the Fleur de Lis. I remember my Grandad would “pop across the road” sometimes for a drink in the Military Tavern. He and Everyone I knew in Sandgate referred to it as “The Hole in the Wall”, nobody referred to it as The Military Tavern.
