This article refers to the demise of the  workhouses around 1930.

My aunt died in 1934 in what used to be a workhouse. Apparently my Nan was extremely upset that her daughter 'died in a workhouse' although by then it was a hospital.  My father died in the same place in the early 1990's, it is still being used as a hospital today.

Hello! Just wondering if you managed to find any records for 700 Hucknall Road? My great grandmother was born there in 1913 and am trying to find out information.

Thanks!

Hi,

I managed to confirm that 700 Hucknall Road was the workhouse and as this was prior to the start of the National Health Service is was the only form of hospital assistance available.

Nottingham Records Office do have the admission, discharge and medical records for the Workhouse on microfiche, and I managed to view the details of when my Great Grandmother was admitted and discharged with my Grandmother and also in the medical records how much my Grandmother weighed when she was born.

Of the top of my head I can't remember the date range of the records, my Grandmother was born in 1905, as your Great Grandmother was born in 1913 it might be in the same record set but if it was a later one it may still be closed due to the 100-year rule, but you could check with the records office when they are open, or email them. I found them very helpful
