Quotes by Simon Fowler (?)

“from the mid- 1840s onwards. The workhouse thereafter became the refuge of the elderly, the sick, orphans and those who were incapable of earning a living.”
― Simon Fowler, The Workhouse: The People, the Places, the Life Behind Doors

“For many ambitious young men and women, serving as a guardian became a convenient way to learn the political ropes before moving on to greater things. The Royal Commission, which investigated the Poor Laws between 1905 and 1909 was told: ‘Many men simply become guardians as a stepping stone to the town council; they wish to gain confidence in speaking and use the boardroom as a practising ground… They are often ignorant and indifferent and stand for other reasons than their knowledge or interest in the poor’.”
― Simon Fowler, The Workhouse: The People, the Places, the Life Behind Doors

“Theorists such as the Rev J.T. Becher, who was behind the establishment of what became the Southwell Workhouse in Nottinghamshire, argued that workhouses should act as a deterrent to the poor. In his pamphlet The Anti-pauper System (1828) Becher wrote: ‘Let it be remembered that the advantages resulting from a workhouse must arise not from keeping the poor in the house, but from keeping them out of it’.”
