Guildford Poor Law Union was formed in 1835 and a new Union Workhouse was erected in 1836. The infirmary was at the rear of the main building.
For more information on Guildford Workhouse see Peter Higginbotham’s excellent website The Workhouse.
The Spike Heritage Centre now occupies the building which used to be the “casual ward” of the Guildford Workhouse.
