The 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act Unions
[ Up ] [ Workhouse changes 1834 to 1914 ] [ The 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act Unions ] [ Workhouse conditions ] [ The end of workhouses ] [ Swansea Union Workhouse (later Mount Pleasant Hospital) ] [ Swansea Union Workhouse - A block plan from the 1880s ] [ Evidence: Signs of the workhouse ] [ Swansea Union Workhouse - A nurse's duties in 1904 (1) ] [ A Swansea Workhouse Christmas poem 1870 ] [ A Poor Law Timeline 1349 to 1948 ]
| Here's a list of the Unions
created under the 1834 Act. Some Unions had a number of workhouses so the
603 Unions had 689 workhouses able to accommodate 184,320 inmates. Some
workhouses had not built or created a workhouse by the time of the 1834
Act. Don't get confused with Trade Unions, these 'unions' are groups of
parishes that were joined together, nothing to do with trade
unionism. |
