Re: Haslingdon road
The Blackburn Union Workhouise - it became Queen's Park Hospital. Such places were often given 'anonymous' addresses to give some degree of protection for someone who might have been embarassed to say "I live in the workhouse" People were often there on a temporary basis. I have no doubt that the residents of 'Moorlands' at Rawtenstall were afforded the same protection.
