That sounds interesting both my sons were born in the former Cuckfield workhouse. (I photographed the old building and its chapel recently if anyone needs a photo).
Another interesting workhouse book is "The Workhouse Cookbook" ( which worried my OH when I bought it "You're not planning to cook any of the recipes are you?" he asked anxiously) which traces the development of the workhouses and the differing standards of nutrition together with a facsimile cookbook from 1901.

Bedford Rugby Club ground is owned by the House of Industry, a Council-owned charity with obvious origins. The adjacent area is the old North Wing Hospital, which took over the workhouse building. Most or all of the workhouse site has been redeveloped with modern hospital type ancillary service buildings.Uncle John - Passed away March 2020
