Peter Higginbotham
talks about the workhouse

lo ffer illustrated talks about the workhouse — generally around 50-60 minutes in length. I provide my own laptop and data projector. The cost (including travel from my home at Ilkley, West Yorkshire) is somewhat negotiable depending on the distance, size of group etc. If you'd be interested in me talking to your group or society, please email me with details of what you have in mind.urb
My talks
  • Doing Porridge - the history of the prison and its food.
  • Gruelling Experiences - three centuries of the workhouse [tailored to your location]
  • Please Sir, I Want Some More! - the story of workhouse food (optionally, with samples of the actual food).
  • Workhouse Waifs - children and the poor law.
  • Bastiles, Pauper Palaces, and Cottage Homes - the architecture of the workhouse.
  • Down and Out in Victorian and Edwardian Britain - spikes, sit-ups and doss-houses
  • The Workhouses of London
  • The Workhouse in Ireland
  • The Poorhouses of Scotland
