A propos de cet article

211 p., ill. An impeccable, as new copy. - Introduction by Averil Staunton: After decades of interest in the Ballinrobe's Workhouse Earl Grey Orphans, curiosity about their conditions before they departed for a new life in Australia, prompted me to study the Minute Books and the original plans of the Workhouse in Ballinrobe plus primary sources. An invitation to fellow members of Ballinrobe's Active Retirement Writers' Group in September, 2022 to join me in paying tribute to those who lived and died in Ballinrobe Workhouse resulted in this publication. Some Writers wrote creative stories of the lives of paupers and their experience based on factual events. Other members wrote poetry as their reaction to the subject, while some provided context with the architectural layout and daily routine of those who lived and died there. Finally, others recalled their memories or connections to the workhouse through family members. 1 would like to thank the Writers for their positive response to this difficult subject and horrific time in our local history. They put their skill and imagination to work in order to create characters and stories that could illustrate the daily reality of life in the workhouse. - Contents: Copyright Page -- Introduction -- The Ballinrobe Writers' Group -- Learning about the Ballinrobe Workhouse.
