Hi just received my ggggranddads birth certificate this morning, he was born in the workhouse but I cant make out the street. It looks like Deutch Street can any kind person confirm this.

Prior to 1834, a number of parish workhouses existed in the Whitehaven area. In Whitehaven itself, a workhouse was built in 1743 on Scotch Street. It was enlarged in 1795 to accommodate 200 inmates, perhaps following Whitehaven's incorporation as a parish under Gilbert's Act of 1782. The parish of Preston Quarter had a workhouse at Ginns. In 1795, Harrington parish began to send its poor to the workhouse at Workington.
