It was initially closed for emergency repairs (at same time as a Clissold pool mega overspend)but has remained shut ever since. The Grade II-listed building has faced challenges in securing funding for its restoration and reopening as a swimming pool. While there were initial plans to restore the pool with community facilities and a GP surgery, these were ultimately scrapped due to funding issues

It was used to accommodate the "aged respectable poor" โ those who had demonstrated good behaviour at the Waterloo Road workhouse.The Well Street workhouse briefly hit the headlines in September 1897 when it was claimed that an elderly inmate had died of overeating. Workhouse officials were quick to rebut the story, even though overeating had been given as the cause of death by the doctor in attendance. The dead man had a weak heart and could have died at any time from the least exertion. The extra food he had eaten had probably been given to him by a fellow inmate who was unable to finish his own prescribed portion. It was however revealed that the Guardians had been experimenting with the dietaries, in order to reduce waste, by serving each inmate with half their bread allowance at the start of each meal, with the second half being provided on request
