The workhouse in victorian times

I have been throughthe articles I picked up on Jack at the start of the module and there is some good stuff in there.
Jack the Ripper As the Threat of Outcast London by Robert F. Haggard is interesting because it deals with some of the social stuff around the situation. It would offer some good information on people, places and environment for D's slide it's accessible on line.

I was just looking for workhouse/doss house images and found something interesting. It's not directly connected, but its an astonishing web site. Very interesting (not to mention distressing. Its well worth a look. The workhouse didn't close down until 1929 or 1930 in Wolverhampton. Well it didn't close down....it became New Cross Hospital. I would really like to use the picture at the top in the talk. I'll work it into the whole culture etc of the time.

The site lists lots of workhouses, and the staff and inmate names from the 1881 census.
