Alongside the stone memorial, they also installed an information panel right at the entrance to what is now Mid-Ulster Hospital.
It gives a succinct overview of the site's history & shows the layout of the workhouse.

It is a beautiful example of a workhouse repurposed to help the local community while also acknowledging and remembering the lives of those affected by the institution.
If you're in the area, definitely give it a visit.

You can visit the entrance block, dormitories and dining area of this workhouse which have been extremely well maintained. You can also see up into the added ventilation towers.
It is open on Mondays and tours are available.

Today, it is home to the Limavady Community Development Initiative. The activity of the Initiative is very impressive with a community cafe, garden and adult and children services. When I visited yesterday I saw the kitchens which provide meals on wheels and a baby bank.

Like many other Ulster workhouses, Limavady had transformed into a mainly medical institution by the 1930s and officially became Limavady District Hospital in 1932. The remaining paupers were transferred to Coleraine workhouse at this time.

Absolutely love your deep dive into the first female graduates from QUB. Really great historical detective work!

Awesome stuff! Congrats.

I worked as historical consultant on a community-based short film on a little-known aspect of local social history in NI. would that be the kind of thing you'd be interested in?

#impact made me choke on my tea

It's only Tuesday and I think this is the most interesting thing of the week.
My husband has also just told me about the Disney-inspired bomb developed in WW2 so I'll be in a Disney rabbit hole for the foreseeable.

This was before Snow White even. Mind. Blown.

This is so cool!

Couldn't agree more. The pathways do not exist. The care is spread over so many departments.
If you're unlucky enough to get an "old school" rheumatologist, there is zero help.
