Sorry Carol, this was the topic I'd been following and I checked to see if it had been added here before posting. Didn't realise there was a similar topic ...

I know it's a bit of a shock if you have never seen them before but...that was the norm Victorian Times.

Yes we certainly live in different times and what to us is morbid or creepy was normal to them, just as poor people in workhouses on a treadmill or children who stole were whipped or sent to prison was normal to them.

Thank God we live in more enlightened times though I do think the world has gone a bit too soft and PC. 

I will work up the nerve to look at more photo's because it really is very interesting.
