I have written to Mike privately on this one! In response to: Hello Christine I don't have any documentary information (certificates) about any of the Shropshire Workhouses. I am only posting information from local knowledge and sources I have at home. In the case of Bishop's Castle I was aware that the name Stone House was still in use and in fact it is a care home in Union Street. The photograph on their web site is clearly not the old Workhouse and a quick phone call confirmed the care home is built on the site of the old workhouse which was completely demolished about the 1960's. Mike _____________________________________ In response to: Hi Mike, Was the address a real or fictitious address do you know in relation to my postings below. The problem is of course that they won't be found on Google. www.workhouses.org.uk ask 'If you have discovered (e.g. from a post-1904 birth or death certificate) the pseudonymous address of any workhouse, please get in touch to add the details to the collection below. Please include the complete address (e.g. '22 High Street, Upper Ramsgate' rather than just the street bit e.g. '22 High Street'). Thank you!' This is a useful and informative site but has no Shropshire workhouse 'addresses' so may I suggest that a bit of giving of information might be in order! In response to: Thank you Michael, never thought but I could have looked it up on 'Google Earth' I use this site a lot when looking for places or an address. Wills.
