    1. Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse where his mother died shortly after. The old woman who took him in did not know where his mother came from. 2. Life in the workhouse was sad and difficult, as the children were always hungry and cold with no one to care for them. 3. Workhouses separated men, women and children and had strict schedules, uniforms, and bland food like porridge and soup. It was an unpleasant place that no one wanted to live.

    In Great Britain after 1834 poor people who had no job or home went to live in a workhouse, where

    they had to work for their food. They worked hard and did unpleasant jobs.

    Women, children and men had to stay in different living and working areas and they could not

    speak to one another. These people wore uniforms and this meant that everyone looked the same

    and everyone outside knew they were poor and lived in a workhouse. The day at the workhouse

    started at six o’clock in the morning and everyone was in bed by eight o’clock at night.

    There was very little food and it didn’t taste good. Only porridge, soup, potatoes, cheese, bread and

    little cooked meat were on the menu. No one wanted to live in such a terrible place!
