Full Description
Originally built as part of the Military Prison, the workshops were a rectangular building 20m long by 4m wide. Remains of the quarry tile floor still survives in places. Traces of the brick walls still occur along the southern elevation to a height of 0.5m. These appear to have then been converted to an engine house for the electric lights on the eastern arm c.1912-1914. It comprised an accumulator room, engine room and oil store with two cooling tanks to the north side.(1)
These structures are visible on aerial photography dated to 1942 (2) and 1945 (3) . The main building has been removed as of 1962 (4) and as of 2002 the area is been used as a car park (5).
