Geocache Description:

A visit to see the Corwen Workhouse. You do not need to enter the workhouse to do this cache. Please be aware of muggles at the final location. Stealth is required.

The Corwen Poor Law Union was formed early in 1837 and quickly decided that a workhouse was needed in the region to house 150 people. The plans for the workshouse construction were agreed in 1837 but the new building wasn't completed until 1849. The main building has a cruciform layout and the main entrance (still in use today) is on the the north face onto the road. The workhouse is still much the same as it was in 1837 and the toilets are well worth a visit if you want to see original features!
