Rufford Abbey and The Workhouse Photos

Rufford Abbey

Goose from Rufford Abbey

Up on Flickr now are two sets of photos taken from a trip around Nottinghamshire.

The first batch are from the English Heritage site Rufford Abbey (and the park around it) including a walk around the lake.

The second is from The Workhouse which is a National Trust property in Southwell and was a Workhouse founded in 1824 which pioneered the concepts of forced labour for men and women “paupers”and full segregation of men,women and children.  The model was taken up by what became the Union workhouses featured in many a Dickens novel.
