At the end of WW II, probably end of the 1940's, accommodation space was needed for seamen of the Hong Kong Flotilla. A quick and comparably cheap way to build accommodation was the erection of Nissen huts (Wikipedia: a prefabricated steel structure for military use, made from a half-cylindrical skin of corrugated steel.)

These huts can be seen on a 1955 map and are labelled "Ratings Accommodation" (map cropped from https://gwulo.com/atom/20365)

Note HMS Tamar on the bonnet. 

I set the place to Boat Pool / Camber, Naval Dockyard [????-c.1962], or is it better to take Wellington Barracks / HMS Tamar [????-????] ?
