Hi, a John Payne died in 10th November 1901 at the Ecclesall union. He was previously a licensee. He left my husband's gt gt grandfather a sum of £1748.
Why would he have been st the Union if he had so much money ?
Was it already a hospital in 1901?

On the Workhouses website (www.workhouses.org.uk) is a link to an 1896 report by a Professor of Surgery - https://www.workhouses.org.uk/EcclesallBierlow/Pye-Smith.shtml.

Search for "Hospital" reveals 180 patients, 4 day nurses and 2 night nurses, in 5 wards.

Most workhouses had an attached Infirmary or Hospital.

In 1929, Ecclesall workhouse was renamed Nether Edge Hospital.
