Workhouse Tour

Current location:
Stone-breaking cell
To pay for lodging, vagrants performed tasks such as stone-breaking. A quantity of stone had to be broken up into pieces small enough to fit through the a grid in the cell wall. The pieces, collected on the outside, could be sold for road making.

From here you can:
Go to bath room
Go into sleeping cell
Exit vagrants' block
