St Hilda's Business Centre, The Ropery (1)
The first Whitby workhouse was built in 1726-7 on Church Street. In 1793-4, a new workhouse was erected off Green Lane. Being located near Boulby's ropery, the site became known as The Ropery. The new building was L-shaped in layout. Whitby Poor Law Union was formed in 1837 and took over the existing workhouse in that year. In 1860, it was enlarged forming a large U-shape. An entrance block was added at the south, and a school was also erected at the rear of the workhouse. After the inauguration of the NHS in 1948, the former workhouse became St Hilda's Hospital and provided geriatric care. St Hilda's closed in 1978 and the surviving buildings are now occupied by small business units.
It is a grade II listed building. LBS Number: 437108

"This building was originally the Whitby Workhouse. It was also known as the Ropery and later Whitby Union Workhouse. It was built between 1793 and 1794. It replaced an earlier parish workhouse of 1726-7 on Church Street. In 1837 it became a Union workhouse when it was taken over by the newly created Whitby Poor Law Union. It was enlarged in 1860 to designs by J B and W Atkinson and the additions, including an infirmary, made the building into a U-shape. In 1930, it became a Public Assistance Institution. In 1948, it became part of the National Health Service and was renamed St Hilda's Hospital."
The hospital closed in 1978 on the opening of Whitby Hospital. The buildings were converted to small business units and is now known as St Hilda's Business Centre. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1253831
