Pewsey: Former Union Workhouse
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 10 Jul 2009
Pewsey Union Workhouse was built here on Walcot Road in 1836. By 1926 the Ordnance Survey were describing the building as the Poor Law Institution, and by 1930 it had become Pewsey Mental Hospital. The building has now been redeveloped as private housing and the site is surrounded on three sides by new homes. However the windows of the building on the ground floor on the left are currently boarded up.
