Building 35: Central Stores

The Central Stores building is the third of the large buildings in this cluster of the Central Hospital Area, lying behind the canteen and Recreation Hall, and accessed via a branch of the main hospital road. Built in 1957, it is a large two-storey rectangular building with slated gable roof. The north-west (rear) elevation has a single-storey flat-roofed annexe. The building is composed of brick-skinned cavity walls laid in stretcher courses. The south-west side of the building is abutted by a single-story rectangular electrical substation building (not accessed). Centrally placed in the south-east elevation is a flat, tarpaper-roofed porch supported on brick piers, sheltering loading doors; a door giving access to the space inside the pier, room g20 on the historic ground plans, had been blocked with brick.

The building contains a suite of rooms along its south-east flank: two smaller rooms labelled ‘unloading’ and ‘unpacking’, a larger unnamed room to the east, and a lift shaft and stairs to the west. This ground plan had been altered with later subdivisions.

The main section of the building is the central hall of two stories. The hall was partitioned with a Meat Store and cold storage areas on the east side. The meat store lower walls were clad in plastic surfacing; some fittings remained, including ceiling-suspended meat-hook rails and large-scale weights. The west side of the partitioned hall is covered with a suspended ceiling, and retains fittings indicating its use as a workshop and repair area: wooden-framed workstations and benches. Access to the far west side of the building, containing a suit of smaller rooms, was not gained during the building recording, nor was the basement, also accessed down the west stairs. The staircases at either end of the main hall lead up to the first floor iron-balustraded walkway and lift shaft.
