37 - 49, Pinfold Street. On this site from 1665 to 1794 were two houses, owned by the town, where the needy could lodge. They were replaced by a workhouse, where the inmates were required to work for their keep. The new building included a manufactory, cow shed, stone breaking yard and prison. It closed in 1839.
