Spalding Workhouse
« on: Monday 30 May 05 23:01 BST (UK) »

Hi All, :)

can anyone tell me if there is such a thing in existance as a photograph of Spalding Workhouse? All I can find is a small map of where it used to be.

A relative of mine spent around 15 years there. I have tried Lincolnshire Archives but they were unable to give me any information at all.

Regards

Hi Darcy

Sorry I don't have the picture you want, but have you seen this web site?  It has a small map of the workshouse, so it might be what you have already seen.

Hi Angel ;D


thanks for your reply to my post. Yes, that is where I got the map from. I have found some great photographs of various workhouses but can find nothing for Spalding.

I continue to live in hope.....

Kind Regards
