Buildings 33-34: Derwent Kitchens and Canteen

The core of this building, which lies in the middle of the Central Hospital Area and is part of a cluster of large buildings north-east of the main hospital road, is an L-plan structure built in 1934 of reconstituted stone laid as ashlar blocks with hipped roofs. The building had been substantially enlarged in 1961, mainly with the single story, flat-roofed main dining hall complex against the south-east end, composed of brick-skinned cavity walls; and a flank of rooms on the north-west elevation; and an annexe to the north-east side of the building. The newer additions appear very distinct against the original grey reconstituted stone of the 1930s structure; only the latest addition, the extension to the north-east, attempts to reproduce the original effect of the early structure with the use of concrete render. The building is terraced into the south-east facing slope of the site; the rear north-west elevation is sunk into the slope and demarcated from the adjacent carpark of the Central Stores by a brick wall and abrupt drop in elevation.

Internally the rooms include ‘Staff Kitchen’, ‘Main Kitchen’, ‘dining Room’ milk room’ and various storage and preparation areas. The dining hall is T-shaped in plan and lit by clerestory windows set in the south-west external elevation. The eastern bay of the T-shaped hall is demarcated with a floor to ceiling folding screen partition. The building had been extended sometime after 1966, containing a further suite of storage rooms.
