Victorian Workhouse: History of the Bromsgrove Workhouse by Neville Land
The unmarked graves in a long forgotten corner of the public cemetery first drew the attention of Neville Land to the unfortunate paupers of the nineteenth century. The crime of many was simply to be luckless enough to lose employment, for which they were categorised as the “able-bodied poor”, and they and their families were then put in the first institution of modern history — the workhouse. The book, most of which is based on the minute books of the Bromsgrove Workhouse Union 1836 to 1901, focuses on these less enlightened times.
