A picture of it (and also the old Isolation Hospital which stands on the opposite side of the road) can be seen at _www.knightroots.co.uk_ (http://www.knightroots.co.uk) - click on "Historic Hants" and then "Portsmouth,Portsea & Southsea" Use the arrow at the top right once the page has fully loaded and shortly after Eastney pumping station, you will find the Isolation Hospital and the Workhouse.
