Weekday Wonderings Talk with Andy Skinner: The Story of St Mary’s Workhouse

Event Information

Weekday Wonderings is a weekday initiative from Southampton City Council Cultural Services, exploring the rich history and heritage of the town. Each session is different, but it could be a talk, tour or something entirely different! Look out for exciting activities on different weekdays!

Southampton’s workhouse was in the neighbourhood of St Mary’s. This talk by historian Andy Skinner draws back the curtain of the workhouse and explores its origin, building and the tales of the unfortunate people who were forced to call it home.

This talk will be held in the beautiful surroundings of the Georgian Room and admission to the museum is included on the day of the talk.
