A lasting reminder of the history of the Warren Road site and the Guildford Union Workhouse

At the latest Spike volunteers gathering, the work of the St Luke’s Hospital Heritage Project was celebrated with the presentation of a plaque, marking the site of the Guildford Union Workhouse and telling of it’s history. This was purchased with grant funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and will be a permanent source of information on an important part of Guildford’s local history for generations to come.

Behind the scenes

Our new exhibition continues to attract a lot of attention and we have had many compliments about our research. You know what they say, like a swan on water, it all looks very serene on the surface but here are a few photos of our mad paddling!
