A look at the stories of those who are often unheard.   Digging into the records our presenter, Keith Robinson, uncovers the fate of Wednesbury’s poor and some who were present in the workhouse in the town and in that of West Bromwich.  Keith looks at the children who were indentured as parish apprentices and the people who claimed outdoor relief.
