No, the workhouse was at the bottom of Fountain Street. Many people make the mistake of thinking that this was the workhouse. This was only ever the Infirmary and Kershaw Childrens Hospital (demolished in the 80's). There were 2 workhouse buildings, the old stone built one and the larger building next to the Lake Hospital.

Time moves on

The Lake Hospital was off Fountain Street, it overlooked the boating lake and Chadwick Dam, this hospital was on Darnton Road.
