Listen "The Story of the Workhouse"
Episode Synopsis
Join our two amateur historians as they take a wander through the history of the workhouse—where poverty met paperwork, and things rarely ended well. From its rise as a so-called solution to society’s problems, to its eventual decline, they chat through the highs (not many) and lows (plenty), all with a dose of humour, a few dodgy facts, and the usual back-and-forth. Grab a cuppa and join us as we poke around the past—no poor law knowledge required!
