Union Workhouse, Romsey, Hampshire
The Union workhouse on Winchester Road, Romsey, Hampshire. Some of the workhouse staff appear to be playing croquet while workhouse inmates are seated on benches behind. The building, originally the Romsey parish workhouse dating from 1774, was taken over and enlarged by the Romsey Union after its formation in 1835
