Modern Nursing home buildings. The polygon shows the site of Rotherham Workhouse built in 1840 following the reorganisation of poor relief in the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act. The workhouse became the Moorgate General Hospital sometime after WWII. The hospital was closed in 1980 and the buildings were demolished in the late 1980s. A few buildings at the north of the site were still remaining in an advanced state of dereliction in 2001. These are shown on the current (2004) Landline data as 'Hospital Laundry'.
