The former workhouse or union house in South End, Bedale. The Bedale Poor Law Union was created in March 1839 and the workhouse erected shortly after. It was built for around 100 inmates and continued as a workhouse until 1924. In the thirties it became a TB sanatorium, later changing to Mowbray Grange Hospital. After the hospital closed it was converted for residential use in the 1990's.
