Lambeth Union Workhouse, Renfrew Road, London
In 1871-3, a new Lambeth workhouse was built at Renfrew Road to a design by Thomas W Aldwinckle. In 1896, the future star of the silent screen Charles Chaplin (then aged seven) briefly became an inmate of the workhouse. The site later became Lambeth Hospital. The central block shown here now houses a cinema museum
