Other Cooking Depots
The depot in Valley Drive, Westdean was used to provide meals for the Civic Restaurants in Brighton.
In August 1943 plans were drawn up to build another Cooking Depot in Loder Road. Once this was in operation there were three Cooking Depots in Brighton producing meals for Brighton Civic Restaurant and School Feeding Centres.
