Following the departure of the RAOC, the depot was occupied by Government departments for a further eighteen years. Some of the buildings were used as a supplies store by the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works dispatching furniture and equipment to embassies overseas. Other buildings were used by the Home Office as a transport store.
The surrounding areas of the depot were put up for auction in the 60's in several lots, none reached there reserve and instead parcels of land were sold off instead.
The upper portion of the depot and surrounding land became an Industrial Estate while the gardens and encompassed building became a housing estate. The land between the infilled canal and decommissioned branch railway is now an engineering works. Other areas form a recreation ground and more housing.
A long road trip in the company of Skeleton Key was worth it although internals were not possible as the building are either re-used or sealed tight.
