Cambridge Union
Cambridge Union Workhouse was erected at
81, Mill Road, Cambridge in 1838 from
designs by the Architect John Smith. It
became The County Infirmary in 1930, and
then The Maternity Hospital in 1948
following the formation of the National
Health Service. The Building became
Sheltered Housing called Ditchburn Place
in 1983, although the Hospital services
were relocated to Robinson Way,
Cambridge and renamed The Rosie
Hospital.
