Disgraceful and Indecent! The Constance Road Workhouse July 1896 excursion to Bognor Regis


Recommended Posts

They were pleased to be home those that lived in St Francis Road, and they were due to be playing a Friendly Game on Dulwich Hamlet Football Ground against the Gordon Road team.

They say that most of the able bodied ones formed a chain and passed the beer from hand to hand from the nearby Public House.

Of course I was not there so it's just hearsay.

> Fantastic! What paper is that from?


The newspaper cutting comes from the scrapbook of William Thomas Freer. He was Labour Master at the Gordon Road Workhouse.


Most of the newspaper cuttings are about the Gordon Road Workhouse. Only a handful are about the Constance Road Workhouse.


Although he dated the cuttings he did not write the names of the source newspapers. From the different type-faces, column widths, and paper colours and textures they came from many sources, but probably a local newspapers.
