The Story of the Red House Museum and Christchurch Hospital.
This greatly extended reissue of the award-winning first edition takes you inside the "Pauper Palaces" of Christchurch, filled with the local destitute: the workless, work shy, tramps, aged and orphans, sick and "lunatics".
The "Social Services" of the 18th to 20th centuries are revealed and explored in detail, with nearly 100 illustrations.
