Descriere

This book is the first attempt to write a history of the workhouse and the ancillary welfare provision for Birmingham, frequently referred to as the 'Old Poor Law'. It reveals some surprising facts which fly in the face of the scholarly consensus that the old system was incompetently administered and inadequately organised.
