Buildings 54-55: Workshops
Building 54 is a workshop unit, housing the joiner’s workshop, with associated storage rooms and welfare facilities on either ends of the building, as seen on the historic ground plans; it was built in the late 1950s expansion of the hospital. Its south-east elevation is oriented towards the vehicle workshop yard, and the building itself forms the northern boundary of the yard. It is a single story building with pitched roof clad in slate, composed of cavity walls skinned in orange brick laid in stretcher courses. Windows have simple brick surrounds and simple concrete sills. External access is provided in both north-west and south-east elevations. This building, with Buildings 55 and 56 are among the few in the Hospital grounds not directly associated with clinical need or residential provision for patients and staff.
Building 55 is a set of single-story flat-roofed vehicle workshops/sheds abutting the north side of the far eastern extent of the glasshouses, Building 58. The south-west sheds were used for vehicle repair and others for timber storage, plumbers and painters, as indicated on the historic ground plans.
