Union Workhouse, Tonbridge, Kent, Female Inmates
A row of female inmates seated by a window inside the Tonbridge Union workhouse. A uniform of long skirt, blouse, shawl and bonnet was the normal attire for elderly women in the workhouse. Some of the women have moved during the exposure of the photograph, slightly blurring the image in places. The workhouse buildings later became part of Pembury Hospital
