Thanks for the Ulverston (e) reference, but also the pointer to a very
interesting history of the workhouse. I'm sorry to say, but the modern
photos could have been inserts in "Oliver Twist"!

Here is another example of the spelling of Ulverston with an "E".

This poster appears on the following website:
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/Ulverston/Ulverston.html

At the start of 1837, advertisements were placed for land suitable for the
building of a new workhouse.


Advertisement for land dated 16th January, 1837


The poster reads

ULVERSTONE
UNION
The Guardians of the Ulverstone Union are
desirous of receiving Proposals from persons
willing to sell, at a sum not exceeding L450,
a Piece or Parcel of Land, situate near the
town of Ulverstone, suitable for the erection
of the new Workhouse for the Union.

etc.
