Southport Isolation Hospital

[kenyoude]

My paternal grandfather, John Arthur Youde, died in an isolation hospital in Southport on 26th July 1924 aged 46 from tuberculosis. I suspect he brought the germ of this illness back from South Africa where he worked in the diamond mines in Kimberley at the start of the C19th. Does anyone have any information about this hospital long since demolished I assume. I found a record which talked about it being at the end of Moss Lane in Churchtown? I would love to know if the records of the hospital are archived anywhere.

Does his death certificate have the address or too vague a location?

You could have a look for it on census records to find a location or it could be mentioned in newspaper reports.

As for records 1 do not know, it may be that isolation hospitals were not part of a local administration prior to the NHS.

Outside boroughs the administration was usually by a Local Board of Health.

I do not have his death certificate. Maybe I should apply for it.

I now have his death certificate and it states placed as Tuberculosis Hospital U D.

I now have his death certificate and it states placed as Tuberculosis Hospital U D.

U D is west lancs urban district council.
The hospital is actually New Hall hospital, but opened in 1927, replacing the temporary hospital at the end of moss lane, how we find archives for this temporary hospital, or if they exist I’m not sure.

Records for New Hall after 1948 are at Liverpool archives
