Full Description
Apart from the machine shop, the shell of this building is all that survives of the 1850 Carriage and Wagon Department of 1850. It is a single storey square block of 10 by 9 bays with the N-E corner cut away. On all four sides the elevations were articulated by rubbed brick double round-headed arches set in tall rectangular recesses. The eastern elevation has a plain parapet but recent re-roofing with a saw roof has destroyed all evidence of the former roof.
