Kelly's Directory of Surrey, 1903, notes that the Farnham workhouse was in Hale Road.  It was enlarged in 1847.  The Infirmary, adjoining the workhouse, was opened in 1900 (92 beds).

Kelly's Directory of Surrey, 1930, doesn't contain similar information, so I wonder if they had closed by 1930.  It mentions Trimmer's Cottage Hospital, East Street.

https://www.workhouses.org.uk/Farnham/

a number of additions were made including two infirmary blocks one around 1870 the other around 1900

After 1930 the former workhouse became Farnham institution and then Farnham hospital.  The main workhouse was demolished but the infirmary blocks survived until 2006/7
