John Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates are likely to have designed the structures. These blocks were redeveloped into vehicle maintenance workshops. After 1985, Blocks L and M were added, these were possibly used for storage or as small workshops. Block F divided into two sections, two storey offices and a vehicle maintenance workshop hall.
