the people's home saffron walden. 1930's
« on: Tuesday 28 May 13 17:57 BST (UK) »
hi all. i wander if anyone can give me some infomation on the above place. my 3 x great gran comfort parker died there in 1931, and im wandering what sort of place it might be a hospital or a old people's home,  she would have been very poor,so couldnt have paid for anything much. im guessing that by the name it is some sort of home for poor people who cant pay.
thanks tracey

There used to be 'The Workhouse' which was for the poor and destitute and in Radwinter Road. I seem to remember that both men and women could live there, but were kept segregated at night.
