Summary
Between the areas lying behind the South-West Flank and South-West Face Casemates, the former Cook House became the focus for a large complex of Shower Baths, Boiler Rooms and Drying Rooms, the earliest parts dating to between 1897 and 1911. A drawing dated to 1928 shows that it was a single-storeyed brick-built shower block, with a gabled and slated, steel-trussed roof, and an attached flat-roofed boiler room. This building has since been demolished. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
