Summary
| Description |
English: Entrance to St Woolos Hospital, Newport On Stow Hill, just west of St Woolos Cathedral. For many decades, until the 1930s, this was one of the most feared locations in Newport. As Woolaston House, it was Newport Workhouse.
Workhouses were used for poor relief in the Victorian era (and later) throughout the UK. They were places of dread for the needy poor and elderly, who had no alternatives in the days before the Welfare State. Books such as Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist highlighted conditions in the workhouse. Workhouse life was deliberately made as harsh and degrading as possible so that only the truly destitute would apply. |
