Description
A Staffordshire Workhouse: Living in the Workhouse of Newcastle Under Lyme
This book tells the story of the Newcastle under Lyme workhouse, a place where people went to live in poverty and hardship. Gladys Dinnacombe's research into the workhouse and its inhabitants reveals the lives of those who were less fortunate, and the reasons why they were there.
Through her research, Gladys uncovered many uplifting stories, but also the harsh realities of life in the workhouse. This book is a fascinating look at a piece of history that is often overlooked.
