Full Description
Previously recorded under NHER 14153, of which it is the only remaining part.
This was the main wing of the Union workhouse, constructed in 1856 to replace the workhouse at St James Chapel (NHER 5484), which collapsed in 1854. Designed by Medland and Mabely and built by Charles Bennett, it was constructed of dark orange bricks with cream ornamentation.

It is unclear when this building converted from a workhouse to a hospital, but this is likely to have taken place around 1948 when the Poor Law was abolished and the National Health Service established. This building ceased to be a hospital in 1985 and is now used as NHS offices.
