Union Buildings "Old Union Poor House" - Hospital Hill, Aldershot 2017
Originally a residence of Sir Richard Tichborne C1630, extensively
extended in use as a workhouse under the terms of the Poor Law Act of 1834 and
later purchased in 1854 by the War Department during development
of the military camp.
Used by the Army as a military hospital during 1854-1879, at the time of
the Crimean War, then became the District Pay Office.
During the 1960s redevelopment of the Aldershot Military Town the buildings
were used as offices for the MPBW and the architectural and engineering practice
Building Design Partnership. After closure of these offices during
1970 the buildings were used for a time by the Families Welfare
organisation and some general amenity space.

More recently the Grade II listed building has been up for sale for
residential development with Planning Permission granted and works now completed.
