Derelict building - Damers Road
Once part of the union workhouse complex and now belonging to Dorset County Hospital - what will become of it? It could be a useful office space for someone.

Thomas Hardy Locations, Far From the Madding Crowd (3)
This is the Dorchester Union Work House, where Fanny struggled, with the help of a dog, to get some shelter just before she died. At the time it was reputed to have one of the best views in Dorset from its front step. It is now part of Dorset County Hospital.

Dorset County Hospital
This view is from Damers Road and shows a mixture of buildings. Those on the left and right were part of the union workhouse/former Damers Hospital, now offices and part of the Children's Centre (not the derelict building on the right!), and straight ahead is the new hospital building. The old county hospital was in the centre of town and has now been converted into flats
