The Workhouse | One Step Up From Prison?


Listen Later

What was life like at The Workhouse? 

Join James Grasby as he becomes an inmate and tours an atmospheric Workhouse building in Nottinghamshire. 

With its bare walls and floors, cast iron beds, and the hollering voices of costumed re-enactors, a visit to the Southwell Workhouse is a sobering experience.
