The new modern Whiston Hospital
Like many hospitals, Whiston Hospital started life in 1843 as a workhouse built by Robert Morris and designed by William Culshaw of Liverpool on land purchased at the corner of the Turnpike Road and Dragon Lane. The first actual hospital wards were built in 1865 accommodating 50 male and 50 female patients. In 1871 a new general hospital was built with a medical isolation unit added in 1887 for cases of cholera and other serious infectious diseases.
