About this title

Synopsis

Unlock a detailed look at London’s Poor Law schools .

This new edition presents descriptive sketches of each school, a map of districts, and focused chapters on ophthalmia, finance, and law, all gathered with delegates’ concluding observations.

This book combines careful field notes, historical context, and practical insights. It explains how children were educated, housed, and prepared for life beyond the workhouse, with attention to how districts organized care and training.

• Describes the layout, operations, and daily life in metropolitan schools.
• Includes a map showing local unions, parishes, and school locations.
• Covers key topics such as health (ophthalmia), funding, and legal aims.
• Concludes with delegates’ recommendations on central authority, governance, and future reforms.

Ideal for readers of social history, public policy, and archival research who want a grounded view of the evolution of care and education for destitute children in late 19th‑century London.
