Former Buntingford Union Workhouse
I noticed this grim old building at the southern end of the old part of the town, in the angle between the High Street and the Hare Street road. The street name, Union Terrace, left me in little doubt that this was once the local workhouse. According to the town website, it dates from circa 1837: http://www.buntingfordtowncouncil.co.uk/history.php
Not many old workhouses survive, so I was surprised to find that this one is not a Listed Building - its lack of charm should not disqualify it. Oddly, a local 'K6' type phone-box (still a commonplace sight in some parts of the country) has achieved Listed status, but not the workhouse.
