Former Workhouse, Union Lane, Ledbury, Herefordshire
This building was originally the Ledbury Union Workhouse. It was built in 1836 when the Poor Law Commissioners authorized an expenditure of £3,970. It was designed by George Wilkinson who was responsible for other Herefordshire workhouses at Leominster, Bromyard and Weobley. It was to accommodate 150 inmates. After 1930, the workhouse became a Public Assistance Institution under the name Belle Orchard House. After 1948 it became an old people's home.
