This brick shed on the north-west corner of the former Woolwich Dockyard has an interesting history. It was designed by Edward George Rivers and built by Kirk and Randall in 1882–3 to store underwater cables for the General Post Office. It was in use for this purpose until the 1970s, then converted to light-industrial units, and retains the name Cable Depot.
