The records of the Sheffield Workhouse were destroyed in the
bombing of Sheffield during the Second World War. However, using
archive material, newspaper reports, and the remaining Guardians'
minutes from 1890, this book reveals the story of this feared local
institution. Famously contentious, the Sheffield Board of Guardians
often went against the wishes of the Local Government Board, and
even of their own workhouse staff. Containing the full and
fascinating histories of Sheffield's three workhouses (as well as
the workhouse school and the attached farm), this book will
captivate residents and visitors alike.
