Work done in 2018 for Cliffe Castle Museum but now brought up to date (1921 census etc).
I guess this counts as a one-place-study?

Classic #poetry of the season... #Christmas day in the #Workhouse. Of course you know of it, but do you know it? It's a fab victorian melodrama.

...the most surprising discovery is the sheer number of bodies that have evidence of anatomical dissection. With the passing of the Anatomy Act of 1832, it became legal for surgeons to dissect unclaimed bodies within the #workhouse system... #Strand #London

What caused the Irish Famine? There is no simple answer to this. In addition to the blight, ideological blindness, moralism, prejudice, and the Poor Law all had a role

Bury Union Workhouse, 1899.
The same Bury Union Workhouse, now an 'Institute', 1928. Over time some workhouses evolved into care establishments and hospitals, even becoming founding members of the NHS.
About one in ten #British natives have ancestors who found themselves in a #Workhouse at some point, that terrifying institutional system born of the Black Death and often codified into law over the centuries.
Today's map (Bury East, 1928) is a reminder of this sad fact.

Women and children lining up for tickets tonget one night stay in a workhouse.
'Applicants for Admission to a Casual Ward' was created in 1874 by Luke Fildes. It shows people lining up for admission into a workhouse. This would only be for one night.

In 1843 at Uppingham, an assistant to the surgeon took out the heart of a pauper lying in the dead-room at the poor-house.
He concealed it in his pocket and afterwards delivered a "lecture" upon it before the Oddfellows' lodge at a public-house.

'Silver' circular badge with dark blue enamel. The outer ring is embellished (possibly a laurel wreath). Within that is a dark blue enamel ring inscribed ' Bridgend General Hospital, Gorau Golud-Iechyd'. According to Google Translate the latter is Welsh for 'Best Wealth-Health'. The centre is a cut out textured cross, at the very centre superimposed is an oil lamp (aka Nightingale lamp) with a yellow enamel flame at its centre. If anyone knows if the Welsh translation is accurate I'd love to know!

A long two storey brick building with 3 story blocks either ends. Green grass in front.
Had a great excuse this week to revisit a workhouse.
Limavady (or Newtownlimavady) was opened in 1842 as a medium model capable of holding 500 paupers.
It is now better known in the area as Roe Valley Hospital where some outpatient services are still in operation.

In the 1870s, the Holborn guardians built the Holborn Union Infirmary in Archway/Highgate, N London solely as a hospital distinct from the main workhouse site. Across the street at Whittington Hospital, is an 1848 Smallpox & Vaccination Hospital #workhouse #histmed #londonhistory #islington
So today at the workhouse: one of my visitors was such a Trekkie, she told me she wanted to name her son Jean-Luc. Her husband vetoed it but she knows...

Pretty (and expensive!) cottages today, you'd never guess it was once a grim 18th century workhouse.

Excellent exhibition, ‘Making the Rounds’ at @rcnlibraries.bsky.social in London.This exhibit explores the experience and stories of workhouse nurses in Norfolk.
