Does anyone know if there was a hospice, or workhouse, in Mare Street, Hackney c.1870?
              Many Thanks

Hello Wayne
The only thing that I have come across in Mare Street, Hackney is the Elizabeth Fry Refuge at 195 Mare Street. It was opened c1845 in memory of Elizabeth Fry primarily as an asylum. I found it on an 1868 map of Hackney and some information is on the internet.
Hope this helps
Jackie
