Glendale Poor Union Workhouse
-
Description
Built in 1839 in the area now known as Padgepool Place. The ground plan is cross-shaped and incorporated a hospital and school. Later used as council buildings and field study centre. Glendale Union Workhouse was built in 1839 to the south of Woller High Street. It cost around £1,500 to construct and could accommodate 70 inmates. The two storey building was designed to a cruciform plan, which created four yards for the different classes of inmates. Since it had no supervisory hub it most closely resembled Sampson Kempthorne's '200-pauper' plan, published by the Poor Law Commission in 1835..... -
