Haltwhistle Poor Law Union was founded in October 1836 and represented 17 parishes and townships. The workouse was built in 1837-9 on Greenholme Road and had a T-shaped layout. It was later known as the Greenholme Institution by the 1920s. By 1924 it was a satellite of the Prudhoe Hall Colony and former paupers were moved to the Hexham workhouse. The Haltwhistle workhouse buildings have been demolished. (3)
Haltwhistle Union Workhouse was built between 1837 and 1839 on Greenholme Road at the west of Haltwhistle. It could accommodate 60 inmates and had a T-shaped layout similar to that at Belford Union Workhouse. An Ordnance Survey map shows that by 1921 it was known as Greenholme Institution. It has now (2007) been demolished and replaced by housing. (4a-d)
