The building on this site was constructed as a Poorshouse, accommodating 48 destitute persons in the late 19th century. After the 1st World War, it was used for local government offices and the Labour Exchange. Further changes led to the use of the ground floor as a Welfare Centre, where the baby clinics were held. A small private playgroup used the upstairs rooms. The building was demolished when it became unsafe. Outline planning consent has been granted for the development of a supermarket but, in early 2020, a housing complex was started. There are no Geographs of the old building.
