johneowens Posted 17 September , 2018 Share Posted 17 September , 2018 Before Margaret Whitson was appointed Matron of the Liverpool Merchants' Hospital/No.6 Hospital British Red Cross), Etaples, she was "Lady Superintendent" at the Brownlow Hill Lying-in (Maternity) Hospital in Liverpool (BJN 6 March 1915: 192) having successfully passed her Central Midwives' Board Examination in June 1907 (BJN 18 July 1907: 39) when it was known as the LIverpool Workhouse Hospital. Found this quote but no source given: " “After much disagreement between the years 1879 and 1882 it was decided to separate the gynaecological and maternity work of the Hospital. As a result a new Lying-in (maternity) Hospital was built on a site at the corner of Brownlow Hill and Brownlow Street [Liverpool]. This was completed in November 1884 and opened to patients in February 1885. The hospital stayed in these premises until a move to a new building in Oxford Street. The foundation stone of the Oxford Street hospital was laid in March 1924 and it was officially opened in September 1926. From this time onwards it was known as the Liverpool Maternity Hospital."
