Thanks Mary, would it be some sort of place for the homeless would you think?

Just done a google search

THE ANN FOWLERS WOMEN'S HOSTEL
Originally built as a Welsh Chapel for the ever growing Welsh population in the Everton district, it was taken over as the Ann Fowler Women's Refuge Hostel for homeless and battered women with limited life skills. It stood on Netherfield Road South facing Upper Beau Street just North of Browside and the Everton lock up. It was discontinued for use in the late 1970s and fell into disrepair by a decade later, finally being demolished around 1990. The good work of Ann Fowlers continues as a Salvation Army organisation situated in a relatively newer building on Fraser Street off London Road and named The Ann Fowler Memorial Home.

Some great pictures on the site http://inacityliving.piczo.com/?g=51055098&cr=7

If she had come from Hindley for work then it may have been a temporary place for her to stay until she could get lodgings? If she used to work in a factory, I don't know how much work there would be about for a ring spinner ...

Yes great pictures.

I would have thought there would have been more chance of work for her as a ring spinner in and around the Wigan/Bolton area rather than Liverpool, the areas were awash with cotton mills. Her mother died in 1901 and father in 1903, she had 6 living siblings at the time of the 1911 census, some married some still single, still I suppose the reason for her being in the home is difficult to establish.
