Westbury-on-Severn Workhouse (General)

I remember the workhouse building as a pupil at Westbury School in the 1960s. By that time it had become an old folks home which we used to visit at Christmas to sing carols for the residents.

It was a large, imposing, red brick building and was still referred to as "the workhouse" by local people. It was demolished to make way for the housing development which now stands next to the school.
