I have just read all the above and it looks like it wasn't the Workhouse..... |

Oh really. In the 1881 census, they were no longer living there!!! |

I do not know if it is of any help but in 1950s/60's there was a large area of old tenement housing in Woolwich, I know because my ex grew up there. |

Chat on this link suggests that Union St/buildings would have been named after the union of England and Scotland rather than the workhouse |

Charles Booth has an online archive which includes some references to Union Buildings which may be worth looking at |

I can only see numbers up to 37 in 1881 and these are not part of a workhouse. Presumbly your family had left by 1881? |

Which years are you thnking of? In 1871 Union buildings in/next to Union Street, St Marys, Woolwich appears to be mostly occupied by workers in the Royal Arsenal, but I can't see 111. |
