There has been a tv series on recently regarding the workhouse. On there it was mentioned that a lot of the Dr Banardos kids were shipped off to Oz and also that there was a public apology from the government (Gordon Brown being PM) about the treatment of the children and the devestation this enforced emigration caused the families. I wonder if any of this is relevant to anyone in Accrington, or perhaps relevant to Atarah's research?
