This page has extra help and information about this clue location, as well as extra things you might want to do while you are here.
You can find the image hint for the clue at the bottom of this page.
Welcome to the Workhouse! Well, today it isn't the Workhouse, it is one of Christchurch's museums, but it has a rich history, and this is somewhere you might want to spend a little time. Nowadays it contains the story of Christchurch from the Ice Age to present day, but in 1764 it was opened as the parish's workhouse. You can explore the different wings, and the garden, where the poor people of Christchurch lived and worked. It later became a museum for the collection of Herbert Druitt, one of Christchurch's famous families.
