This resource can be used to study the buildings and people of the Bury St Edmunds workhouse in the 1870s-1880s. It can be used as part of a study of poverty and some of its causes and effects in the nineteenth century.
The first part of the resource focuses on the location and layout of the workhouse using maps, a detailed plan of the buildings, and photographs. Next it takes an overview of all of the people who were living at the workhouse at the time of the 1871 census. Finally, it looks in more detail at two cases studies – a family of four orphaned children and a former soldier.
Students will use a variety of primary sources to make their own investigations, formulate questions, and draw conclusions.
