Life In The Victorian & Edwardian Workhouse By Michelle Higgs

Since the National Trust reopened Southwell Workhouse to the public, there has been a renewed interest in workhouses. This book uses testimony, photographs, oral history and workhouse records to tell the stories of both inmates and staff. It also presents a picture of life in the workhouse using research into key workhouses in England and Wales.
