Summary

Most of the original ancillary structures, comprising stores, canteens, workshops, gardens etc. stood on terraces to the west of the main steps. On the lower terrace there were a series of structures, originally free standing, but by 1925, the gaps between them had been filled with further additions and extensions, the result was a continuous range of buildings. The canteen and regimental institute was located at the southern end of the terrace, at the south western side of the parade ground.
