In 1844 the Union Workhouse in Locksbottom opened operated by [[Bromley Poor Law Union]] but the parish burial registers reflect burials of those from the Union workhouse for several decades of it's operation. The Union chapel records have not survived but examination of both admission and discharge records and creed registers indicate that paupers were returned to constituent parishes within the union for burial where admission from the parish was recorded. Casuals admitted to the Union Workhouse are likely to form pauper burials in [[Farnborough, Kent]] parish which covered Locksbottom and the Workhouse and Infirmary on the site. | In 1844 the Union Workhouse in Locksbottom opened operated by [[Bromley Poor Law Union]] but the parish burial registers reflect burials of those from the Union workhouse for several decades of it's operation.

The subsequent development post 1948 of a distinct psychiatric unit within the National Health Service in seperate buildings on the Workhouse site can be traced to original Infirmary provision. This tradition is also reflected on the site by a distinct Psychiatric unit (Green Parks House) of the modern Princess Royal University Hospital which is managed outside the district hospital organisation.<br> | ||
