The Workhouse was at the bottom of Union St, on King St, 3 stories high facing the Ambulance Drill Hall. The end of the building was in Union St, then the Union St Wesley Chapel, was next up Union St coming from King St. There used to be a WW1 Memorial in a space near the entrance along with what looked like headstones.
The New Jerusalem had similar headstones in the church yard, but there were no bodies under them.
