Kris, Victoria Hospital and Burnley General are not the same place. They weren't far apart, but Victoria was on Queen Victoria Rd, I'm not sure if it hasn't been pulled down, or converted, it certainly isn't a hospital any more.
The building is still there http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=Burnle ... 20BB11%201

Gloria, There are a couple of photographs which I have taken of the Victoria Hospital as it is now on our web site, it is now less than half the size it was and is being run as a nursing home.

Have just found a list of documents relating to the Burnley Workhouse in the catalogue for Lancashire Record Office. Type Burnley Workhouse (Or any other Lancashire workhouse) in the search box to see the results. http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/education/ ... alogue.asp
