Former Thornbury workhouse
Viewed from the corner of Gloucester Road and Eastland Road. Now converted to flats named Beechacres, this was formerly Thornbury Workhouse. The main block, part of which is in the background, dates from 1837. The porter's lodge on the left shows the year 1888.
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.
