• Remembrance - Ballinrobe Workhouse

This book is in remembrance of all those who lived & died at Ballinrobe Workhouse, Co. Mayo and of those who died on the roads and in ditches trying to reach it. Ballinrobe Writer's Group have written creative stories of the lives of paupers and their experience based on factual events. Other members wrote poetry as their reaction to the subject, while some provided context with the architectural layout and daily routine of those who lived and died there. Yet others recalled their memories or connections to the workhouse through family members. Finally the Writers included factual and creative stories and poems about the 26 Earl Grey Orphans - girls aged between the ages of 14 and 18, and their voyage, for a new life in Australia in 1849 on the ship the Panama.
