Very interesting part of our history, many thanks.

WOW! How sad Chris. If I hadn't seen this I would never have known about the workhouse in Kingsbridge and the impossible lives people were expected, or should I say forced to live. Your story about that tragic couple, who after all only wanted to work for a living is indeed heartbreaking. So sad and so unfair. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks Kevin that book Song of Salcombe is well worth a read.

Interesting local history Chris. Sad times but I expect it was true of much of the country at that time. Thanks for posting.
