I stand to be corrected if someone has better knowledge.
   By my reckoning the Old Work House you are referring to ,stood with its yard on the right hand side as you went up Frindsbury Road. Roughly between Grove road  and Station Road. I should think where all the 1930,s and more recent housing is now.
    To find on current maps Leave from  Strood High Street on Gun Lane . Join Finsbury Road heading up towards Frindsbury Hill . Grove Road and Station Road are on your right.

Thanks, how did you figure that out :)

There may be mention of these houses possibly as 'Workers' Houses in this article  :-\

I thought I'd posted this yesterday but seems to have disappeared/escaped into the ether?

I can see the Vicarage (Parsonage?), Sunday School, School. Is the "P.H on the corner the Bell?
