My ancestors lived in Holbeck, Beeston and Wortley since the late 18th century. I lived in Beeston till I was 12. At that time (1961) the Holbeck Workhouse building was still there. Recently I discovered that my 5 times Great Grandfather, Charles Cluderay, was Clerk to the Workhouse Board of Guardians as well as being Holbeck Registrar. He died in office in 1880 at the age of 69.
