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.

I was watching a Halloween special once about the "Burning Times" and they were going on about this village in Germany where they killed like 19 priests and all the women and children or something. Silly me, I made a joke about it being where I was born.

Yep, it was.
