There was a Workhouse in Newgate Street in Bishop Auckland from the 18th century at least, but it moved to a new site from the mid 19th century. People feared it, but was it so dreadful? How did anyone ever survive? This isn't an academic work, but stories of the people involved, from the long serving Master, benevolent for the times, to some of its inmates, including ancestors of one of the authors.
