TF0733 : Exaggerated eaves
taken 4 years ago, near to Folkingham, Lincolnshire, England
The red brick workhouse on West Street was built in 1813, and remained in use at least until the new poor law of 1834. in 1835 Folkingham came under the new Poor Law Union of Bourne, who built their own workhouse in Bourne in 1836. It is probable that this building was no longer used after that.
It is now a pair of private homes, and a grade II listed building. The listing mentions neither the architect nor the unusually deep eaves over the front of the building.
The front is inscribed, across the first floor between the windows, "Falkingham Workbouse 1813" - using the 19th century spelling of the village name.
