| Description | Canterbury Union Workhouse proposal |
| Details |
An isometrical view of the proposed Workhouse to be built at Canterbury, Kent. The design was presented by Henry Parker, a former Assistant Poor Law Commissioner, at a meeting in November 1846, as an example that Workhouses need not be prison-like in their design. The workhouse subsequently built at Canterbury was similar to this proposal, though not exactly the same.
