Arch and office building at junction of Union Way and Tower Hill
The history of the site which now has this converted chapel as offices is interesting. Witney Workhouse was built on Razor Hill (now Tower Hill) in 1835-36 by the architect George Wilkinson. It had four wings radiating from an octagonal central building. George's younger brother William added a separate chapel in 1860. During the First World War the workhouse housed prisoners of war. In 1940 it became Crawford Collets engineering factory which incorporated the chapel as the factory canteen. In 1979 Crawford Collets demolished the main buildings and replaced them with a modern factory but preserved the entrance gate and former chapel. In 2004 this factory was demolished for redevelopment. The gate and chapel were preserved and subsequently the chapel renovated to provide the offices of this photograph.
