A new Birkenhead Union workhouse was built in 1861-3, the architect was Thomas Layland of Liverpool. It could accommodate about 500 inmates and opened its doors on 4th January, 1864. The original workhouse hospital was built at the south of the site in 1866. In 1911-13 this was replaced by the two new hospital pavilions which are shown in the photograph. The workhouse later became Birkenhead Municipal Hospital but is now known as St Catherine's Community Hospital.
