A new exhibition is now showing in the village life gallery at Skidby Windmill.
Produced by volunteers from the East Riding Rural Life Project, the exhibition is entitleed “Ox-head and Gruel – a story of Almshouses and Workhouses in the East Riding of Yorkshire” and it is on from now until the end of August.
Taking care of the poor and the elderly was as important in the past as it is today. The answer then was to use almshouses and workhouses. This exhibition explains where they were situated and what daily life was like for those who lived there.
Skidby Windmill is open every day from 10am to 5pm.
