RichardB Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The name Margaret Drinkall or Drinkwater springs to mind, visit a local bookstore or search online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobberd Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The Book is called Sheffield Workhouses. This is the blurb from Google Books "Margaret Drinkall - 2011 - No preview 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."

ukelele lady Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've been told there's a walk around of the Northern General Workhouse with Ron Clayton next week . Does anyone know anymore about this? It sounds interesting I would like to know a few more details if Rons' reading this or anyone else that is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
