Very close to a station and not far from a rugby club ground.

It is, JW well done as the side view is not so obvious, the road runs past the front.


Built about 1908, baptism was performed there, most of which were recorded as being born at Gill House rather than the Union Workhouse. I didn’t use that as a clue as Google took you straight to the right answer.


Over to you...


Thank you JohnFilmer,  It threw me at first as the frontage is of a stone finish.  I've driven past it numerous times over the years.

Next one folks ...   East of the county

John Walker. That's a ridiculous amount. In Scotland you can get a salmon license for that sort of money & I doubt that there are salmon there. Boring is when you can't eat what you have caught!


Dave,  I believe much of the waters are stocked with trout but the main attraction is the enormous carp and pike in the waters.  John

Pretty close JW, it started as a parish workhouse, then later a Union Workhouse, eventually being called an Institution or Hospital.

Would the large building be an asylum?

It’s next to, and originally associated with a large building, that from this angle (the side) is behind it.
