| Famous faces with workhouse connections? I'm currently trying to compile a list of well-known living people who have some kind of workhouse connection such as the workhouse ancestors of Len Goodman and Neil Kinnock. If you have come across any such links, I'd love you to email me the details. (Please don't worry that it might be someone I already know about.) Thanks! |
OUT NOW! The Workhouse Encylopedia is an A-to-Z cornucopia of everything you ever wanted to know about the workhouse in one volume! With more than 250 articles, its 480 pages are packed with facts, figures, maps, charts, tables, statistics, and more than 150 photos and illustrations. Amongst the comprehensive and detailed appendices are the complete text of the official 1847 workhouse rule-book, and a directory of the locations and other details of hundreds of workhouses and associated institutions across the British Isles.
The Workhouse Encylopedia includes a huge amount of information not found on the Workhouse web site and will rapidly become the reference book that you'll never want to be without!Order online at The History Press website. |
