Workhouse Master - Cambridge Union Workhouse
« on: Wednesday 05 December 12 23:18 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in my great grandfathers brother, Douglas Ditchburn who was the last workhouse master of the Cambridge Union Workhouse. I would like to know the types of things he would have done? I know the workhouse no longer exists but any information would be fantastic. I note that it is now called Ditchburn Place which is quite nice!  :)
