WORKHOUSE BUILDING

Converting the building 2007/8

By Sylvia Woolford

Work has now started on converting the old 'Workhouse' (at the top of Church Hill) building into flats. The developer told me that planning permission has also been granted for houses, in the grounds. The houses will be built in a sympathetic style, to compliment the old building.

At one time both my parents worked there (it was the "Downs Hospital" then. The first picture, top floor right hand side is the apartment where we stayed for a while before moving to the other end of the hospital near to Brighton road.
