More about this scene
The architect of this building was William Waddington who designed quite a number of distinguished local buildings. This part of the building, which housed the offices, has an impressive entrance. Notice the two large lamps by the path. There were wards for the inmates, laundries, kitchens and other facilities normally associated with a workhouse. It was also known by other names, the Primrose Bank Institution and Moorfields.
