Workhouse
Alverstoke Workhouse was erected as a Gilbert Parish House of Industry in
1799 to 1801, for 250 Inmates. It was one of the first type of workhouses to
have a supervisory central portion, where the Master, Matron and Committee room
were situated, erected as a cross shape within a larger square. Alverstoke
became a Poor Law Union in 1852.
