In 1723 a prison (Bridwell) was added to the site as well as a separate workhouse in 1739. The Workhouse was designed for the poor who had the ability to work. Any profits earned from the labor of the residents were expected to cover the overhead of maintaining the Workhouse and, hopefully, the Almshouse. In 1795, the Almshouse, the Bridewell prison, and the workhouse property were sold" for redevelopment.
