The two conjoined white buildings were the dockyard offices of the former naval base which closed in 1959. They were built in the mid-nineteenth century and are Grade II-listed (List Entry Number: 1203099 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1203099 Historic England). The left-hand building, with the clock turret, appears to have lost its roof in the years since the Royal Dockyard closed in 1959.
