The Queen's Park Hospital, Blackburn.

The Queen's Park Hospital was converted from the old Workhouse, and run as such until 1929 when it was taken over by the Bough Council and renamed. (Higginbotham, P., 2011) The site was redeveloped in 2002 to become the Royal Blackburn Hospital. The workhouse was first recorded in parliamentary records operating in 1777 on Merchant Street, which was later renamed Workhouse Lane, and is now Hutchinson Street.
