Journal by janilye

The following are the ingredients and quantities which constituted the pudding served up to the inmates of the Lambeth Workhouse Christmas day in 1827

The number of persons who partook of this dish amounted to between 700 and 800:
FLOUR. 475 lbs.
SUET. 144 lbs.
RAISINS. 300 lbs.
SUGAR. 44 lbs.
GINGER. 3 lbs.
ALLSPICE. 2½ lbs.
MILK. 108 quarts.
and 11 quarts of strong beer.
The whole whole weight of the pudding, when the ingredients were blended,
was 1,300 and a ½ lbs.;
the cost amounted to 23/- within a trifling fraction.

Also, take a look at Workhouses Up to 1834
and the staff and inmates in the 1881 Census. Also there are 'long term inmates' records of 1861

The original workhouse opened in 1726 in Princes Road. From 1871 to 1873 a new building was constructed in Renfrew Road, Lambeth. The building was eventually turned into a hospital. The workhouse's former master's house and chapel are now occupied by the Cinema Museum.

The Cinema Museum, formerly the master's house and chapel of Lambeth Workhouse.
