Magherafelt Workhouse Project Launch Event

The Loup & District Historical Society would like to invite you to the official launch event on

Thursday 31 July at 7pm

at the main entrance gate to Mid Ulster Hospital 59 Hospital Road Magherafelt BT45 5EX.

The Society has been running a project over the past two years to document and highlight the history of Magherafelt Workhouse (opened 1842, closed 1945). We plan to unveil a memorial stone and an information board at the main entrance to the former site of the workhouse, now the Mid Ulster Hospital. A website will also be launched detailing the history of the workhouse and the two burial grounds nearby, where many inmates were buried without any marker, especially during the years of An Gorta Mor (Famine) 1845 -1852.
