For a small but in-depth study of a small location can have its benefits and St. Thomas Place, Penkhull, formerly called Victoria Place does. The houses are diverse as well as the occupiers in status and occupations which can create a small nucleus but informative group of houses across the spectrum of a social network of the period that makes it so interesting. Again, a perfect choice for a local history project as well as a good project for schools which will produce significant information even on a small group of properties, large and small.
cen 7 1911 Spittals Workhouse, Stoke-upon Trent
£5.00The 1911 census for the Spittals workhouse contains in excess of 700 inmates, a huge number the care for and to provide meals each day. The burden upon the local community was huge and with constant problems to manage.
The listing in this excel report is a further valuable contribution for those wishing to study the returns each year and as 1911 was almost at the hight of the industrial revolution and therefore the numbers fail to reflect that.
Viewing this return firstly using the age listing can easily locate the young from the old and importantly those of working age to enable a graph illustrating the difficulties in society. The same applies to the place of birth whereby setting a radius around stoke at every 10 or 20 miles to ascertain there most are coming from. There is no end to the illustrations of life in 1911. A further example of the work that can be done with facts and figures.
