Talk:Heworth, York

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know where the former workhouse that is now a hospital is referring to? I'm not familiar with it.

I haven't heard of it either, and a quick Google doesn't come up with much. I've moved it here for now:

"The former workhouse is now a hospital."

OK, after a bit more Googling, I came up with [1], which lists Heworth as a Conservation Area. The former workhouse-turned hospital mentioned is a "St Mary's Hospital, Huntingdon Road (on the boundary of the Conservation Area) is by J. B and W. Atkinson. It was built in 1948 as a large and very plain workhouse". The only hospital on Huntingdon Rd on my map is "White Cross Road Hospital". Neither are mentioned in Appleton's local history. — Matt 23:15, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
