The 0.44 hectares site is owned by the city council and currently occupied by a range of small business units including motor repairs, car spraying and valeting, printing, and domestic appliance servicing. The buildings on the site date from WW2, when an Air Raid Precautions Depot and Ambulance Station were located here. They are mostly single storey and of utilitarian brick and block-work construction, comprising functional industrial units and garaging. There is a mature tree belt screening the west side of the site on the frontage to Hall Road and trees along the southern boundary separating it from the adjoining McDonald's drive through restaurant and petrol filling station (at 162 Barrett Road).
