Workhouses of London and the South East by Peter Higginbotham
Our image of workhouses has often been coloured by the writings of authors such as Charles Dickens. But what was the reality? Where exactly were all these institutions located - and what happened to them? You might be surprised to discover that a building in your own town, now transformed into flats or part of a local hospital, was once a workhouse. Revealing buildings steeped in social history, 'Workhouses of London and the South East' provides a comprehensive and copiously illustrated guide to the workhouses that were set up across London and the neighbouring counties of Middlesex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and Berkshire.
PETER HIGGINBOTHAM, who lives in Yorkshire, runs the website www.workhouses.org.uk. An expert on the subject of many years’ standing, his previous titles include The Workhouse Cookbook, Life in a Victorian Workhouse, Workhouses of the North and Workhouses of the Midlands and Voices of the Workhouse.
