It was probably the infirmary attached to the workhouse. This was often the only healthcare the population of the area had access to. If a death was recorded there, it didn't always mean that the person was an inmate of the workhouse, only that they died there.

Hi does anyone know of a free site I can view the inmate at Greenwich Hospital Vanburgh Hill? I take it that it must have been a kind of workhouse if inmate was used when someone died I know it was a poor union hospital but would they still have said inmate? anyone please :-\
