Conversion to residential work at the former Lincoln Grange nursing home is well underway, turning the one-time Beeches Hospital and Madeley Union workhouse into a series of apartments and homes. The whole building was give a Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101391962-lincoln-grange-formerly-madeley-union-workhouse-the-gorge#.XJM-_Cj7RPY in 2007, and is thought to be the country's first 'pavilion-plan' workhouse, built in the early 1870s. The 1881 census records a Master & Matron, plus one nurse, who looked after 112 residents aged between 20 and their early 80s.
