Frankly they were quite horrible, there was hardly any light in the rooms so the workers could not see what they were doing half of the time. Most of the workers were children and were treated as slaves. The 'masters' at each workhouse were allowed to whip the workers if they were not going quick enough. Basically the life in Victorian times were based around the workhouses' and the treatment within them. Even when it was Christmas they would still work they would be aloud to go to church and they would get a slightly bigger meal. The workhouse was a horrible place because they didn't give you much food. You also had to work 11-hour days non-stop sometimes even risking your life!

The staff in a workhouse were:-A Master-A Matron-A Medical Officer-A Chaplain-A Porterand-A School TeacherHope this helped! :Da Mastera Matrona Medical Officera Chaplaina portera school-teacher
the life for children the Victorian times was cruel brutal and just plain discriminating because all children had to work
The poor Victorians would live on the streets, but if they were found by the bobby's (police) they would get taken to the workhouse where they would have a cruel life, they would try to escape but if they got found escaping they would be put into a shed where everyone can see them. Trapped Forever. This is not entirely true, workhouses were cruel often, but a better alternative than living on the streets. It was mostly families that went into workhouses
A Victorian hat was often adorned with flowers and delicate lace.

they had lunch at twelve to one
they woke up when ever they wanted to
The first Victorian workhouse was built in North London in 1823 and there was more children than adults working there
I'm pretty sure that adults and children are separate and they eat gruel:)
In a Victorian work house children, adults and elderly went to work in a workhouse if they were poor or badly ill. If they broke the rules then they would be put in a cage in a dark room, fined of even put into prison!
the children got taught the things that they needed. but nothing more. the teacher wpuld punish them for doing anything wrong.
In the Victorian workhouse times the poor people had to wear a uniform so the outside knew they were poor and knew they were from the workhouse.
