How Dickensian

I never knew!

St. Mary's Hospital and now an eldery rest home was once the Luton Union Workhouse.

(Scroll down to After 1834 for some photos)

My actual hometown of Dunstable had a workhouse too, which is mentioned in Oliver Twist. I did know that.

Wow...that's great. It's always cool to find out stuff about your history and all.

I know. It is cool! And I'm going to have to tell my mum and give her a rough time about it. *g*
