Location of Wexford Paupers' Graveyard (Workhouse Cemetery)?
« on: Saturday 29 April 17 04:31 BST (UK) »
In former times I frequently walked around the Carricklawn, Stonybatter and Carcur areas, containing the former Wexford Workhouse. There was a paupers' graveyard associated with the workhouse, but I never noticed it - can anyone say exactly where it is? i.e. north south, east or west of the workhouse, or off which road...
Thanks!

Entrance off Coolcott's Lane.

Ah, so that is why I never saw it when walking in the vicinity of the old Workhouse - it isn't actually that near it at all. Thanks.
