The main premise behind the interpretation in the four casual worker cells is to tell the stories of the type of people who may have been using the casual ward system at the turn of the century. Through a variety of mediums, the visitor will be encouraged to embark on some self-discovery by deciphering graffiti riddles and poems on the walls and looking at and handling the contents of a box of artefacts, which has been left by the cell inhabitant. This will also be supported by newspapers clippings and period propaganda posters from the time, displayed on the walls. The visitor will then have their ideas confirmed by activating an audio store which will play a monologue spoken by the cell inhabitant, telling their personal story. School groups will also have the opportunity to fill in a worksheet relating to the cell inhabitant, asking questions such as ‘Where do you think Sarah was going?’ and ‘Why was she staying in the casual ward?’ etc. before they activate the audio. This worksheet links in with other activities in the Education Studio and forms part of the education programme. An important aspect of this interpretation is that it gives visitors an opportunity to explore not only issues within the workhouse and casual ward system, but also an understanding of the wider social issues affecting those in poverty, such as war, the decline in the agricultural industry and the political backdrop of the time, and the audio script should be written with this in mind.
