200 Leicester Road, Mountsorrel
« on: Friday 17 September 21 18:22 BST (UK) »
My great grandmother died at 200, Leicester Road, Mountsorrel in 1948.  The death certificate shows the informant as "A Callaway, Acting Chief Resident Officer".  I presume this was some sort of nursing home, but have been unable to confirm that.  Does anyone have any further information about this establishment?

Yes it's the Mountsorrel Hospital, formerly the workhouse infirmary.

Pauline, Shaun

Many thanks for your helpful responses - the earlier post is very informative and confirms what I had assumed.

On old maps, I think it is Glenfrith Hospital in 1966-1996, Poor Law Institution in 1929 and Barrow on Soar Union Workhouse in 1884-1903
