Please can anyone tell me what the address was for the Workhouse in Taunton. I have found lots of information about it but have been unable to find out what the address was.

Taunton Workhouse was originally erected on what is now Trinity Road.  Here is a link with the details:

Thank you for your reply pritch.
I have seen this link before. I was hoping somebody was going to tell me the exact address. I have a relative who was born in Trinity Terrace in Taunton which no longer exists and I was wondering if that was the address at the time for the workhouse?

I was trying to find 9 Trinity Terrace, where a relative died in 1925, and came across this old post.  Did anyone determine if this was the address for the workhouse ?
