Description
x'On the Road' makes available in a single volume three major first-hand accounts of visits to the casual wards (overnight accommodation for tramps, vagrants and other wayfarers) at dozens of English workhouses between 1928 and 1935. Its shocking revelations about the treatment of the inmates of these institutions led to material improvements in conditions. The book includes an introduction to the casual ward by Peter Higginbotham, a well-known author and researcher on the the workhouse system.
