 Under the '''Poor Law Amendment Act 1834''' all parishes in Wales and England were grouped together into '''Poor Law Unions'''. Each Poor Law Union had to provide a place where people who were unable to support themselves could live and work, known as the '''workhouse'''. Conditions in the workhouses were deliberately made to be harsh, spartan and degrading so as to deter all but the absolutely destitute.
