In England during the 1800s, many people came to the cities to work. There were places called workhouses where the poorest people could live, work and eat to make ends meet. But life in the workhouses was not easy. One night, a woman arrived at a workhouse. She gave birth to a baby but then sadly died. A nurse called the baby Oliver Twist. He was sent to a house for orphans until he was nine. Although the boys lived hand-to-mouth, they had a sense of belonging at the house and looked after each other.

According to the text, what was life like in workhouses in England?
