Some of today's hospital buildings were once the workhouse infirmary. Above one entrance is this stonework, from the infirmary days. It shows the Manchester coat of arms with an inscription: "Poor and needy - the Lord careth for me." It is still in place above one of the entrances on Central Drive at North Manchester General Hospital.
