Love this video. Alan Titchmarch is fantastic! Why though have the National Trust put wallpaper in the workhouse infirmary? I am sure it would have been just the bare brick on the walls and not paper.
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
The first slaves sent to Jamaica were Irish… the Irish were always persecuted by the English sadly, it’s quite hard to believe in this day and age but apparently the Irish were forbidden to grow anything other than potatoes which they were forced to sell (cheap) to England… that’s why when the famine hit it was as absolutely awful as it was… they had no other food cos they couldn’t have grown any… these poor souls often get forgotten
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.
Yes it will have! Clatterbridge Hospital use to be a workhouse and we had ghosts there. In the nurses home we frequently heard a girl sobbing. Apparently it was the ghost of a young unmarried girl who had her baby taken from her during the work house era.

No one does documentaries like the Brits!
So much history to explore...
I love these documentaries. It makes me so grateful that I live in 21st century.
I’m thankful I had never seen this side of poverty.
Me too 😢

Not just the Irish my friend.

Yeah they came from other countries and need deporting lol
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
I bet there's alot of ghost and haunting in that mansion

@lesliejones6018 aweee why did they call it clatter bridge hospital
@@Eli-Family-xg5ngGood question but I don’t know. It has got me thinking I will try to find out.
My son slept in a drawer when he was tiny
Yep mine too.
I would've hated to have lived in the Queen Victoria era.
The workhouses didn't shut down until 1948, so it wouldn't have just been the Victorian era sadly.
Absoloutely terrible to be separated from children and families …
Terrifying to be in the workhouse !!!
To look at yesterday with todays eyes and make judgements is very easy.
I need to watch this in school i cant do this
Ebenezer Scrooge loved workhouses.😳
Anyone watching this for A Christmas Carol homework? 💀☠
I'm here for the David Goggins Winter Arc Sigma Male Grindset inspiration.
Watt about their Dark Secrets??
The world is a vampire.
Wonderful! Why don't we have them anymore 4 all these so called "refugees"?
Refugees will be living like kings as they do now. The real 💯 true people will starve
Punished for being poor.......work that one out !!!
It's difficult for me to understand that that totally awful 1980s graffiti is considered art and is "saveworthy". Yuck!
Art is subjective. People went nuts over a painting of a can of soup too, but it's one of the most famous paintings in the world 🤷
