West Derby Union Workhouse. The Test House.
Mill Road workhouse was condemned and pulled down, leaving only a detached builing which held the "Imbeciles". Sick persons were transferred to the "Test House" in Belmont Road, which originally housed vagrants. This was later to become known as Newsham General Hospital.
