The L&SWR first utilized the site in 1891 as a Carriage and Wagon Works when the operation was removed from Nine Elms and in 1903 it also absorbed the repair work from Southampton. The site was expanded to the south of the Gosport line when locomotive building was transferred from Nine Elms in 1910 and it became the principal works for the SR, building over 300 locomotives by 1947. In 1962 the Carriage Works were sold and all activities transferred to the Locomotive Works until 1968 when new carriage build was moved to Derby and York, and locomotive build to Crewe. The Carriage Works site was subsequently utilized as a Commercial Park and maintenance and repair work at the Loco Works finally ceased on March 31st, 2006.
