LOCAL residents can step back in time by visiting the new exhibition at Limavady Workhouse, with the opportunity to explore living heritage, poignant tales and glimpse the fascinating past of the iconic building. Offering visitors an opportunity to discover one of the best-preserved workhouses in Northern Ireland, the exhibition is generously funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund Northern Ireland and National Lottery players. Karen Heaney from Limavady Community Development Initiative explained why the story of the Workhouse is such a powerful channel for local people to connect with their past history. The exhibition features a previously unseen collection of archived objects, costumes and artefacts, specially curated to bring the history of the workhouse to life. This opportunity was recently enjoyed by Primary 7 students at Termoncanice Primary School, with further visits planned by Drumachose Primary School and local scouting groups.
