Surviving a Horrific Night in a Victorian Workhouse (Whitechapel Casual Ward)

How dreadful was a stay in the workhouse? A man disguises himself as a vagrant to discover the grim reality of Victorian sleeping conditions and the insipid food that poor residents endured in the casual ward. in this documentary, we find out that was the least of the troubles that awaited him on this trip to experience the wretched lives of the poor; for he was made to work to pay for his bread and board – work so gruesome that he could stand it no longer and ran off down the street.
