workhouse, Chalfont St Peter

Photograph at the workhouse, Chalfont St Peter brown plaque

The old workhouse. Pictured in the 1920's, before conversion to shops. It was a refuge for the homeless, but conditions were harsh to deter scroungers. The gas lamp was moved to the church porch when the building was demolished.
