Workhouses were where poor people who had no job or home lived. They earned their keep by doing jobs in the workhouse. Also in the workhouses were orphaned (children without parents) and abandoned children, the physically and mentally sick, the disabled, the elderly and unmarried mothers.
The first Victorian workhouse was built in North London in 1823 and there was more children than adults working there
Children from workhouses typically had very limited spare time due to their demanding work schedules. When they did have free moments, they often engaged in simple activities like playing with makeshift toys, participating in group games, or reading whatever materials were available. However, these activities were often curtailed by strict rules and the harsh environment of the workhouses, leaving little room for leisure. Overall, their opportunities for recreation were severely restricted, reflecting the difficult conditions of their daily lives.
In Victorian workhouses, children typically did not go home after work, as they lived in the institution full-time. They were often separated from their families and placed in the workhouse for various reasons, including poverty or orphanhood. The workhouses operated as a means of providing food and shelter, but the conditions were harsh, and children were required to perform labor alongside adults. As such, their lives were largely confined within the workhouse system.
