All that remains of the original workhouse today is the Eastgate wing, which most locals will recognise as the Roger Casement Irish Centre, now redeveloped as private flats.

Kitchens face out to the pedestrian paths and play areas and interiors are airy and flexible. Partitions and panels slide up and across to open or close walls.

There was enough open land in the surrounding area for other institutions - such as the Aged Pilgrims Asylum (now Hillside Park, Hillside Estate, and Louise White House) and the Alexandra Orphanage (now Welby, Goldie and Ritchie council blocks). The Whittington College almshouses were where Miranda Estate now stands.

In the early 1900s, St John's Way passed through what was still a fairly open rural space. It was therefore an ideal place to build a large workhouse: a place for the poor, physically and mentally disabled, and morally 'destitute' - the latter often a euphemism for single mothers - to be cared for and housed, in exchange for work on the premises......

Caxton House Community Centre, then, has its roots in the Caxton Settlement Movement, and does its best to help local residents, particularly those living in social housing in the area try to manage their environment and community through ongoing committees, groups and other initiatives. 

The capital sins (or vices) are usually enumerated as pride, avarice, lust, envy, gluttony, anger, and sloth, understood as types of sin, irrespective of the gravity of their commission in any particular case.
