This is the only surviving part of the former workhouse and was erected in 1874 as a reception for vagrants. The first floor housed the board room for the Poor Law Guardians. Although not used, it has received some recent conservation work and carries a blue plaque. It is alongside the Kidderminster Treatment Centre that is a former district general hospital.
