No doubt this has been mentioned before, but the National Trust owns the old workhouse at Southwell, Notts. Its worth a visit if you want to get a feel for what it was like. Most of the rooms are empty, but they have an audio guide which helps you imagine life there. Have a look at their web site for more info http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-theworkhouse/
