I attended a Ramblers walk at Pulham Market last Thursday and the starting point was the Deepwade Union Workhouse on the A140 just before the Old Ram public house at Tivetshall. I have driven past this building on numerous occasions and have always thought that it was an old workhouse, so here is an article on it’s history. It was erected in 1836 but who built it? Why was an attempt made to burn it down in 1844? What was the ticket system? It became a Public Assistance Institution in 1930 which was effectively a workhouse under local government control. It’s purpose changed serval times after this date and if you want to find the answers to these questions and more related information, then select the following link:
