Here are some extracts from the Spotland Workhouse Diary for May 1837 :
we have had 2 Funerals
since last Wednesday. James Crabtree
upwards of 70 yr
and Martha Cooper 69 years
Ann Clegg is yet very troublesome
we are in want of a Quantity of Knives
it is a fine time of year for Whitewashing
and puting the House in good repair
Ann Clegg we think is past oure
power of restoreing her to her right mind
Ann Clegg is worse than she was
it does not look likely we can bring her
right at oure place
Mr Stott brought us a Woman
last Thursday Morning she had not been
in the House 1/2 un houre before she
bare a child they are both doing well
