Starting in the first decade of the 1800s, the area of the West India Docks works yard was established, featuring the renowned architectural designs of Sir John Rennie. This space remained mostly unaltered until the 1920s when the Port of London Authority (PLA)constructed their Central Stores Depot on the site.

During the 1980s, the PLA introduced a collection of workshops available for rent to accommodate small businesses. This estate was named the Cannon Workshops in reference to a cannon that had previously occupied the entrance of the area.
