This is the only photo I have of the workhouse
before it became a hospital
I believe it was taken from the lane on the Cote Lodge side of the workhouse
whose main buildings are in the background. When the cottages (who may have housed the staff) was demolished I
do not know.
For further excellent details of this and other workhouses visit Peter
Higginbottams site.
Some of the residents
This picture is of the hospital porters lodge
The young girl in the picture is called Viv Brocklehurst and is the daughter of Sam Haughton who took the picture in about 1960
