Description
Nos 58 and 60 on St Peter's Street is an 18th-century building that was formerly a parish workhouse. The exterior has been significantly altered in the late 19th century. The building has two storeys and features four windows, with a central archway leading to the yard. It has a high-pitched tiled roof and a simple wooden eaves cornice. The structure is made of red brick, decorated with a pattern of blue headers. The later 19th-century windows have segmental heads and an ovolo moulded label above them. There is a sun assurance plaque situated between two recessed panels at the centre of the first floor. This building is noted for its group value and historical associations.
