Abstract: |
Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out a programme of building recording at the former Hospital, surveying six of the remaining buildings on site in advance of demolition. Recording was largely limited to the exteriors of the buildings as most internal floors had been removed prior to the survey. The buildings were originally part of the Wolstanton and Burslem Union workhouse hospital complex and included two infirmaries and two nurses' accommodation blocks. Associated service buildings included a possible mortuary and laundry, later extended and adapted to become a boiler house and workshops. The hospital complex at the workhouse was established with the construction of an infirmary in 1893 and the buildings recorded as part of this project were built between 1900 and 1924. Following the abolition of the Poor Law in 1929 the workhouse and its infirmary were taken over by the local authority and, in common with many workhouses, eventually formed the core of an NHS hospital. The buildings appeared largely unchanged since their construction and in most cases had retained their original functions. |
