Full description
Passmore, A. J. + Jones, P., 05/2013, Former Newton Abbot Hospital, Devon, Results of Historic Building Recording (Report - Survey). SDV351393.
This building formed part of a rear range of the 1830s workhouse. It was described in the assessment
report as accommodation, but was probably actually used as a work room. A detailed description of the exterior was presented in the assessment report and no new observations were made. The northern bay is an extension and internal access was not possible. The building was converted into a sewing and manufacturing room in 1984, and by 1994 had been reordered into toilets, showers and a store for use by kitchen staff and porters. No evidence survives for its original layout. The central part of the building has an arched ceiling supported on wide plain columns. In the northern part of the building there is a dado rail that that is contemporary with the sash windows since it runs into the reveals; it also matches the carving on the window cills. In this area a high level cornice survives. There are two blocked fireplaces set into the eastern elevation.
