Wolverhampton: The Forgotten Staffordshire WorkhouseWed 29th April @ 7:30 pm - 9:15 pm
In Victorian England, the question haunted every parish: what should be done with the poor? The answer, in 1834, was the workhouse — a place meant to provide food, shelter, and discipline... but remembered today for something far darker.
Hidden among the lanes of Trysull, the Seisdon Union Workhouse served the surrounding villages — from Wombourne to Tettenhall, Pattingham to Kinver. Built in 1860, it stood for decades, shaping countless lives — and then, somehow, slipped quietly from memory.
Join the Wolverhampton group as we learn about the stories of those who lived and worked behind its walls — and rediscover a forgotten chapter of Staffordshire's social history.
