Britain's What's On Event Guide
Basingstoke Workhouse
This fascinating illustrated presentation will explore all aspects of life in that feared institution, the workhouse.
Local author, Barbara Large, will describe what was life like for those who lived and worked there, how caring for the destitute and unfortunate often depended on the personalities of the people in charge, and how the Poor Law Union became a whole new tier of local government, still operating today.
Copies of Barbara’s book will be available for sale on the night.
