This website documents a geographical, scientific, and historical investigation of The Old Workhouse, located on the Dublin Road, Dunshaughlin, County Meath.
As a trainee primary school teacher, one of the modules I study during my course is entitled Social, Environmental and Scientific Education. As part of this module I was required to complete a geographical, scientific and historical study of a local area/building. This investigation would then be graded, giving me my final mark for the module. When I was completing my investigation, I found it very difficult to find any online information about the workhouse. For this reason, I have decided to present my investigation through this website, in the hope that it will provide others with information about the important landmark that is Dunshaughlin Workhouse.
This scientific, geographical and historical investigation took place from November 2014 until April 2015. All of the work on this website is my own, and all sources have been referenced.
