Monument record: MCC4544 Lexden and Winstree Union Workhouse (St Albrights Hospital), London Road, Colchester (Monument)The Lexden and Winstree Union Workhouse, on the south side of Lexden Road, was constructed in 1836 by Scott and Moffatt as a variation on the Sampson Kempthorne radial plan form. It comprised a central hub with four projecting accommodation wings and segregated yards enclosed by an outer rim of octagonal service structures. An entrance block was located to the north and an infirmary to the south. A chapel, laundry and mortuary were added later. After 1930 it became St Albrights Hospital and in latter years was occupied by Essex County Council Social Services, before closure in 2006 and subsequent conversion to residential.
