The Poor Laws in the United Kingdom left a lasting and significant impact on society, spanning over two centuries of legislative provisions for the poor and infirm. Workhouses, as the first centralized and state-organized welfare system, have a controversial historical reputation. Initially designed as specialized institutions, workhouses were divided into subdivisions to manage different categories of inmates. This volume presents a social archaeology of the lived experience of poverty and health in the nineteenth century, highlighting the heterogeneity of the Poor Law system from a built heritage perspective.
