Leeds Union Workhouse

In 2019, the “More Than Oliver Twist” project was created. This project brought together volunteers to research the lives of the inmates of six workhouses, including the Leeds Union Workhouse, as recorded by the 1881 census.

This project is still ongoing, and biographies of the inmates of the Leeds Union Workhouse, Infirmary and School will continue to be added to the museum’s records by our Heritage volunteers.
