Gone, but not forgotten.
Lyn,
I think they were originally offices & warehouses for the British Rail Central Goods Depot and later I think I remember them being a corporation works depot and just before they were demolished they were little arts and crafts workshops and sort of indoor market.

Yes phil
You are correct it was the corporation works depot
And all departments operated from there even the road sweepers based there
For employment
When times was desperate in the fifty,s me and our kid went there as a last resort for looking
For work, we used to think nobody wants to do that job
But we was wrong the gaffer of the depot turned around and said sorry guys we have a very long
Wainting list and so with the bin mens job today every body wants to do it
Good money eh
