Whittlesey Workhouse was a workhouse in the Cambridgeshire town of Whittlesey. Its use as a workhouse ceased in 1930 and it was subsequently demolished.[1]
The facility has its origins in a workhouse in Broad Street (formerly Old Tavern Street) built in the early 19th century.[2] This was replaced by a new workhouse built by Frederick Peck on the north side of Eastrea Road in 1875.[2] The new facility had a distinctive tall tower. It became the Whittlesey Poor Law Institution in the 1920s and was closed in the mid 1930s.[2] After the workhouse had been demolished in the late 1930s, Sir Harry Smith Community College was built on the site in the early 1950s.[2]
