Hide AdThe Depot was originally a military hospital before being converted into accommodation for army personnel. It is now a business space home to shops, a yoga studio, offices, storage units, eateries and more.


Six suites have now been opened at the site for businesses to utilise. The décor in the rooms include reminders of the site’s patriotic heritage, featuring the bold use of Union Flags.
Owner of The Depot Michael Chittenden said: “We’re now 10 years down the line since taking over The Depot and refurbishing the buildings for modern use while retaining their heritage.
“We have over 100 businesses based here now, so it makes sense to offer them the facility to stay overnight on site if they wish, or for anyone visiting them to have that convenience.

“We’re just minutes from the motorway network, but in a secure, quiet and relaxing location – with ample free parking, 24-hour keyless access, ultrafast WiFi, smart TVs and free Netflix entertainment.”
Architect for the renovation project, Paul Vick, says that bringing The Quarters back to life marks a significant point in the site’s history.
He said: “Before we became involved, the original plans for the site involved knocking down buildings, including some of great historical interest, to make way for retail space.

“Buildings that were once only useful for basic storage and distribution are now characterful, flexible business units – including an 18,000 sq ft co-working office space.”
