AdminHistory Newsham General Hospital began life as the Belmont Road Workhouse in 1891. After about 1917 it became known as the Belmont Road Institution and the importance of its medical services grew. It developed into a hospital for the chronically sick although it also had sections dealing with skin and orthopaedic problems, pulmonary tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases. During the Second World War the institution became the Belmont Road Hospital. In 1948 the hospital became part of the national health service, by this time its main focus being to provide geriatric care. In 1950 it changed its name to Newsham General Hospital, a name it retained until its closure in 1988.

There are also records for Fazakerley hospital, but I think the access conditions would be the same.
