Custom House Malton 1792

Join our expert guide Yvonne, on a tour all about the most hated house in Irish History, the Workhouse.  These houses were basically a cruel and primitive social welfare style system, set up to deter all but the most desperate to avail of their services.

A major network of just over a hundred of these houses were designed from the offices based here in The Custom House in the early 1840s. They would gain notoriety during The Irish Famine as places of ultimate squalor, disease and almost inevitable death.

The administration for this system all came from The Custom House.
