A Glimpse into Workhouse Residents
The Workhouse, Southwell的点评
点评：Definitely a different National Trust experience, but certainly one worth visiting as it tells the story of those less fortunate than the owners of country estates.
The workhouse takes you back in time to when people were so destitute that they needed a place to live. The residents checked themselves in, and they were free to check themselves out. But, as with most things, there were certain stipulations.
Women and men were worked hard here as it was believed that if living conditions required extremely hard work, the residents wouldn't want to stay and that would force them to go out and find work elsewhere.
Rooms are set up as they would have been at the time of operation. Clever presentations tell the story of the residents.
I'll admit, it was very sad to learn of the hard lives that these residents had to endure, but I give accolades to the Trust for seeing the importance of preserving these memories that feature the working class and those less fortunate.
We are National Trust members (via Royal Oak), so I cannot comment on the admission cost. The parking lot is within easy walking distance of the building, with working gardens sandwiched in between.
The property also holds a once used hospital/nursing home that one can tour as well.
There is a cafe and toilets are available on the property as well.

翻译：这绝对是一次与众不同的国民信托体验，但绝对值得一游，因为它讲述了那些不如乡村庄园主幸运的人们的故事。
济贫院带你回到过去，回到人们极度贫困、需要一个栖身之所的年代。居民可以自行登记入住，也可以自行办理退房手续。但是，就像大多数事情一样，这里也有一些限制条件。
男女在这里都要从事繁重的工作，因为人们认为，如果生活条件极其艰苦，居民就不会愿意留下，从而迫使他们外出谋生。
房间的布置都保持了当时的原貌。巧妙的展示讲述了居民们的故事。
我承认，了解到这些居民曾经遭受的苦难，我感到非常难过，但我赞赏国民信托认识到保存这些关于劳动阶级和弱势群体的历史记忆的重要性。
我们是国民信托的会员（通过皇家橡树分会），所以我无法评论门票价格。停车场距离大楼很近，步行即可轻松到达，中间还穿插着花园。
该物业还包含一栋曾经用作医院/疗养院的建筑，可供参观。
物业内设有咖啡厅和卫生间。
