Visited with Ferox (cheers man a class day out as usual) after an early morning explore elsewhere expecting not to get in, but when we got there had a look around were pleasantly surprised to get in undetected. Was a bit on edge at seeing about a hundred used needles in the first building we went in but didn't come across anyone else while we were there.

May have been alterations in 1869.Enlarged to right in 1902. Some modern extensions in conversion to hospital use. Standard workhouse grid plan with separate courtyards for men and women; transverse and spinal ranges with linking central octagon.
The workhouse complex and adjoining chapel were Grade II listed over 20 years ago."
