I’m thankful I had never seen this side of poverty.

[@lisalking2476]

Me too 😢

Having previously suffered under Cromwell in the 1640’s, we Irish suffered under the workhouse system during the 1840’s in the Great Irish Potato Famine - and a version of this system was adopted by the Irish Catholic Church to create industrial schools under the Christian Brothers and the Magdalene Laundries under several orders of Catholic Nuns including the Irish Sisters of Charity, along with the Mother & Baby Homes and several other institutions

[@mikalasimpson7789]

Not just the Irish my friend.

[@carlking3979]

Now in the UK they no longer have Work Houses, instead the very poor are homeless and live on the street.
At least 309000 people homeless in England today 2024. Yeah they've come a long way.

[@LLLLLLLLLucas]

Yeah they came from other countries and need deporting lol

[@Michelle-qd9gm]

These small houses were a big step up from the workhouse even if they did not look much and they were basic anything better than the workhouse

[@cassieoz1702]

My son slept in a drawer when he was tiny

[@stevewheatley243]

Ebenezer Scrooge loved workhouses.😳

[@mariateixeira6379]

Watt about their Dark Secrets??

[@TravisBrady-wn8fr]

The world is a vampire.

[@dinola3268]

Wonderful! Why don't we have them anymore 4 all these so called "refugees"?

[@ronniecardy]

Refugees will be living like kings as they do now. The real 💯 true people will starve

[@patricialong5767]

It's difficult for me to understand that that totally awful 1980s graffiti is considered art and is "saveworthy". Yuck!

[@Elainerulesutube]

I would've hated to have lived in the Queen Victoria era.
