Behind High Walls: Inside Lancaster Workhouse, with Naomi Parsons. From its earliest beginnings as a parish poorhouse, to an isolated and imposing building on Lancaster Moor; you will explore the stories and the stigma of those in need of the workhouse's 'indoor relief', in a new lecture with rarely seen photographs and oral history accounts.
Talk lasts about one hour, followed by 30 minutes for refreshments and relaxed questions and answers.
