Workhouse which is situate in this ward. The number on the night of the census
in this institution was 1,334 For certain statistical purposes the workhouse
population is not regarded as belonging to Shoreditch and is excluded from the
estimated population of the Borough which becomes for these purposes, therefore,

Union Workhouse premises have not been taken into account nor has the area
covered by water in the Borough been included.
