This book is the first attempt to write a history of the workhouse and the ancillary welfare provision for Birmingham, frequently referred to as the `Old Poor Law’. It reveals some surprising facts which fly in the face of the scholarly consensus that the old system was incompetently administered and inadequately organised.
