The Workhouse treadmill was a form of punitive labor used in 19th-century British workhouses, where inmates were made to walk on a large revolving wheel for hours. This device was intended to punish the poor and deter them from seeking public assistance by making workhouse life uncomfortable and arduous. The treadmill produced minimal energy output, mainly serving as a means of discipline rather than productive work. It symbolized the harsh treatment of the impoverished during the era of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834.

Still," returned the gentleman, "I wish I could say they were not." "The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?" said Scrooge. "Both very busy, sir." "Oh! I was afraid , from what you said at first, that something had occurred to stop them in their useful course," said Scrooge. "I am very glad to hear it."
A poor law guardian was an official responsible for overseeing the administration of poor relief under the Poor Law system in England and Wales, particularly from the 19th century until the early 20th century. They were elected members of a local board of guardians who managed the provision of assistance to the needy, including the operation of workhouses. Their role involved ensuring that the poor were cared for in accordance with the Poor Law, which aimed to alleviate poverty while deterring dependency on state assistance.

The Poor Law, which established a system of poor relief in England and Wales, was effectively ended with the introduction of the National Assistance Act in 1948. This legislation replaced the poor law system with a more comprehensive welfare state approach, providing assistance to those in need without the stigma associated with the previous system. The Poor Law had evolved over the years, but its formal abolition marked a significant shift in social welfare policy.
