2.13.9 Buildings 33 and 34 Within the curtilage of the combined dining room and institute and located at the rear of the building are two small single-storey structures. Building 33 is a WAAF changing room, but the function of Building 34 is unknown although it is presumed to be another changing room. Building 33 – this is a two-bay structure (both 10 ft 2 in by 10 ft 8 in) (3099 by 3251), constructed of 4.5 inch brick with a single pitch roof of timber rafters carrying modern profiled steel sheets. Quarry tiled floor and white glazed tiles to walls. Building 34 – this is similar to Building 33 but has only one bay (8 ft by 6 ft 3 in) (2438 by 1905).
