The other buildings of the dock yard were most of them practical workshops. The visitor who passes the,porter's lodge and guard house which stand on either side of the
main gates sees a long room which formerly held the paint and tar and pitch for cankling ships. The rings which the bases of the heavy casks formed on the escaping pitch still mark the floor.
