Cordwainers at Devon Walk

The Cordwainers block in Southfields with entrance from the Pightles. The glass doors are the communal hall used for a variety of purposes.
Footpaths back into Southfields from Pightles Terrace. The footpath right, runs behind another block of flats, is called Devon Walk.

An Out-Patients unit - 'Rushden House Day Hospital' - opened in 1975, and became Rushden House Day Centre/Unit (Cordwainers) in 1980. When the Hopsital was closed, part of a new building on the Southfields area was made available for the Day Centre use.

There are two access points from the Pightles and from Southfields. Here the pesioners can get advice, an information. A large communal room is used for talks and presentations.
