The main block of the old workhouse (now converted into flats)

The facility has its origins in the Portsea Island Union Workhouse which was designed by Augustus Livesay and Thomas Ellis Owen and which opened in 1846. [1] A new infirmary block, designed by Charles Bevis, was added in 1896. [2] The infirmary block was extended by the addition of a ward block and a maternity block in 1908. [2] Further ward blocks were added in 1911. [2]

The facility became St Mary's Hospital in 1930 and joined the National Health Service in 1948. [3] The main block of the old workhouse was converted into flats and re-named "St Mary's House" in 1990. [4]

In May 2018 the trust announced plans to refurbish the buildings and turn the site into a health campus. [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cleveland Street Workhouse</span> Workhouse in London, England

The Cleveland Street Workhouse is a Georgian property in Cleveland Street, Marylebone, built between 1775 and 1778 for the care of the sick and poor of the parish of St Paul Covent Garden under the Old Poor Law. From 1836, it became the workhouse of the Strand Union of parishes. The building remained in operation until 2005 after witnessing the complex evolution of the healthcare system in England. After functioning as a workhouse, the building became a workhouse infirmary before being acquired by the Middlesex Hospital and finally falling under the NHS. In the last century it was known as the Middlesex Hospital Annexe and the Outpatient Department. It closed to the public in 2005 and it has since been vacated. On 14 March 2011 the entire building became Grade II Listed. Development of the site began in 2019 by current owner University College London Hospitals (UCLH) Charity as a mixed-use development including residential, commercial and open space, but construction has been held up by the necessity to remove human remains stemming from the use of the area around the workhouse as a parish burial ground between 1780 and 1853. There has also been controversy about the amount of social housing to be included in the development.
