A workhouse was a place where people who were unable to support themselves could go to live and work. The Oxford Dictionary's earliest reference to a workhouse dates to 1652 in Exeter. There is, however, some written evidence that workhouses existed before this date. Records mention a workhouse in 1631 in Abingdon. The vagrants' and casual workers' ward of a workhouse was colloquially known as a spike, from the tool used to unpick oakum.

En gros: les "workhouses" sont des lieux ( maisons ) où les personnes pauvres peuvent vivre et travailler. Le premier dictionaire à faire référence aux " workhouses " est le Oxford Dictionary's et date de 1652, c'est la première trace écrite de l'exsistence de ces lieux.

Many minutes after the begining of the movie, Harold starts to listen the narator's voice who saids he gonna died. Mister Cricks will probably try to avoid it.
