-==== History  ====
-A parliamentary report of 1777 recorded township workhouse at:<br>Bolton by Bowland (10)<br>Aighton also opened a town workhouse in 1817.
-The Clitheroe Poor Law Union was formed on 14th January 1837.<br>For many years, Clitheroe Union resisted the building of a new workhouse and made use of the existing parish workhouses at Aighton and Bolton by Bowland. It was criticized for provision and in response to these criticisms planned a new replacement.
-The new workhouse, for 200 inmates, together with a 36-bed hospital, was erected in 1870-73 at the south side of Chatburn Road in Clitheroe. The building was designed by Jonas J Bradshaw and was officially opened on 21st April, 1873.<br>After 1930, the workhouse site became Coplow View Public Assistance Infirmary. After 1948, it became part of the National Health Service and is now Clitheroe Community Hospital.
