• What’s left of the workhouse? Buildings, street names and famine graves across Britain and Ireland

  

  There is no open list of Britain and Ireland’s workhouses, so I mapped what they left behind in open data: 356 traces, from hospitals and flats to Workhouse Lanes, and 14 of 15 mapped workhouse burial grounds in Ireland.
