Imagine that you are in 1870: a new workhouse has just opened on this site, to replace the King’s Norton Union Workhouse which stood on Kings Norton Green. It’s a long, imposing red brick building with two round towers protruding either side of its entranceway. It represents fear and imprisonment for many living on the breadline, and security and survival for some of those who have already slipped below it.
