DescriptionThere are any number of pictures of empty floor; this one, taken looking east, shows the original building; it was 55 metres wide and 165 metres to the first wall, with another 55 metres beyond. Most of the floor of this first part was concrete, with wooden bearers set in, filled with bitumen up to the bearers or beyond, and covered in 32 mm jarrah or maple, visible here.
Later additions had conventional concrete floors.
