The word 'workhouse' has a grim resonance even today, conjuring up a vision of the darker side of Victorian Britain. Here we examine how workhouses came into being, what life was like for men, women and children on the wrong side of the poverty line, and how social attitudes evolved through Victorian Britain into the 20th century.
