No Shirley, it's the 1911 census and it's definitely HM Prison - just looked it up.

Ok . She was in the workhouse on the 1901 census

Walton-on-the-Hill
In 1864-9, a new workhouse was built on Rice Lane at Walton-on-the-Hill to serve the northern part of the Union. It was designed by William Culshaw who was also the architect of the nearby Toxteth Park workhouse. The Walton workhouse initially accommodated 1,200 inmates and its construction cost £65,000. It gradually expanded and by 1930 could hold up to 2,500. Its location and layout are shown on the 1906 map below:

Wasn't picking up the 1911 census :-(
