1901 Census - Institutions
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jeffery.knaggs/Instuts.html
Quote from: website
This is an index to Institutions in the 1901 Census of England and Wales.
 
It includes only those institutions that were enumerated separately from ordinary households, not those small ones that were enumerated amongst the surrounding houses.



Workhouses

Peter Higginbotham's Workhouse site
http://www.workhouses.org.uk/
Quote from: website
The Workhouse often conjures up the grim world of Oliver Twist, but its story is a fascinating mix of social history, politics, economics and architecture.
This site is dedicated to the workhouse — its buildings, inmates, staff and administrators, even its poets...

Quote from: sem73
Very interesting ...... especially if an address you have doesn't seem to exist!   Grin
