<title>Littleworth - Gloucester Infirmary , Southgate St (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sadly a few of &quot;mine&quot; went through its doors one after a near fatal accident under ground at Lightmoor.</p>
<p>Old Gloucester(shire) Royal Infirmary was in Southgate Street demolished in the 1982-86 ?( today the site is home to the Bank of England) between Parliament St and Albion St on (lower) Southgate St.</p>
<p>Gloucester's (old) Hospitals</p>
<p>The county infirmary, in Littleworth, was built, in 1755, by voluntary donation; is a plain but commodious and well-arranged edifice; has an income, from sub-scriptions, and the interest of funded property, of nearly-Â£3, 000; and extends its benefits to a vast number of patients. </p>
<p>The lunatic asylum, on an eminence in Wootton, was erected in the present century, at a cost of nearly Â£50, 000; is a semi-circular edifice, with two wings added to the original structure; and contains accommodation, with good arrangements, for 600 patients; and had, at the census of 1861, including officers and servants, 578 inmates. </p>
<p>An hospital for the insane, at Barnwood, had, at the same time, 37 inmates. The reformatory school in Hardwicke, 4 miles to the SW, may be regarded as connected with the city; and had, at the census, 43 inmates. </p>
<p>The workhouse for Gloucester district is in St. Catherine parish; and had, at the census, 176 inmates.</p>
<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><p>Location</p>
</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p>I reckon that Littleworth went roughly from Southgate Street, down<br />
Parliament Street and Brunswick Road including Brunswick Square down<br />
towards Spa Road, maybe slightly south of it and South Hamlet took up<br />
where Littleworth left off</p>

<title>Info on Littleworth General Infirmary in the 1890's</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> Info on Littleworth General Infirmary in the 1890's</strong>Does anyone have any information on Littleworth General Infirmary in the district of South Hamlet in the 1890's.  Have trawled the web for a location and a possible photo with no joy.  I am assuming it no longer exists?!<br />
Any help appreciated!<br />
Alison</p>
