Portway House, Weymouth
« on: Sunday 19 June 16 02:07 BST (UK) »
Hi
Does anyone know of Portway House, Weymouth?  I have a relative who was an incapacitated quarryman and died there in 1940.  Was it a hospital or an old person's home?  I have tried Google without much luck.

Many thanks

Hi, in 1939 the Workhouse (Weymouth Poor Law Institution) changed to Portway Hospital. It was redeveloped in 1992 for residential use and is now Union Court.
