General notes

The Royal Albert Hospital was opened in 1870 as an institution for the care and education of children with learning problems and was closed, as a hospital, in 1996. Behind the hospital, separated by the Lancaster to Preston railway line, is Dorrington Road, said to be the longest unbroken row of terraced housing in Europe.
