Geocache Description:


West Beckham Workhouse
It’s imposing entrance block justified its nickname ’Beckham Palace’
The building was badly damaged by fire and was restored in 1888 at which time it could hold 539 inmates. However, in 1890 when Walter and Mary Emery were Master and Matron, there were only 78 in residence.
After its closure, the building stood empty and became derelict. The main building was demolished in the late 1970s.
This forlorn site was bought by someone from Devon a few years ago with the idea of development — so the locals say.
