The facebook page is Gorey Workhouse Project - I had understood the hospital and workhouse were hand in hand unless there is another hospital at the time? Anne would be better on this side of things as she is a local - I am from Dublin. Because I think the hospital gate was right next to were the Workhouse graveyard is.

I will look for you joining the page and look forward to sharing with you.

Hi Karen,

I checked on the osi.ie map, and on a more recent map (Historic 25") it shows the fever hospital on the south side of the workhouse and the graveyard on the north side. On that map there is no fever hospital on the Courtown Road. I presume therefore that at some stage the fever hospital was moved adjacent to the workhouse.

Regards
