Learning on Screen100 Fishponds Road: Eastville Workhouse’s Paupers Remembered
- Synopsis
- In 2015 the Eastville Workhouse Memorial Group in Bristol unveiled a memorial for the 4,084 paupers buried in a mass grave at Rosemary Green. In this short video, Dr Roger Ball and a group of local residents reveal the story of how the Eastville Workhouse came about and what it tells us about social conditions in Victorian Britain. The film is also a very good example of how social media can be used to develop new tools and techniques to identify research opportunities and disseminate historical findings.[14 minutes]
