On this site stood the workhouse which provided shelter for destitute Irish migrants in the years of the Great Famine 1845-52. Remember the Great Famine

The Great Famine, also known as the Irish Potato Famine (1845-1852), was a period of mass starvation and disease in Ireland, leading to significant population decline through death and emigration, and profoundly impacting Irish culture and demographics. Workhouses like the one that stood on this site served as grim shelters for those left destitute by the famine.
