The Fever Hospital at Enniskillen Workhouse

The Fever Hospital opened in October 1849, almost four years after the main Workhouse first opened its doors.

Built outside the Workhouse walls, the hospital allowed those suffering from infectious diseases to be cared for separately from the main Workhouse population, helping to reduce the risk of disease spreading.

During the Great Famine, overcrowding and the spread of infectious diseases placed enormous pressure on the Workhouse, making the need for separate hospital accommodation increasingly important.

Although the Fever Hospital building no longer stands, it remains an important part of the story of Enniskillen Workhouse and the challenges faced by those who lived and worked here.

Emotional Landscapes | Noelle McAlinden

We're delighted to welcome Emotional Landscapes, a small selection of works by artist Noelle McAlinden, now on display at The Workhouse Enniskillen.

Noelle's work explores the human condition, memory, lived experience and the emotional landscapes we inhabit throughout our lives. Through colour, texture and expressive mark-making, her paintings reflect the connections between our personal experiences, memories and the places that shape us.

As Noelle shares:

"My hope is my work will help ignite creativity & imagination in subtle ways, support the nurturing environment for individuals, organisations & businesses to develop & grow in creative & innovate ways."

We're fortunate to have these thought-provoking pieces on display, bringing colour, creativity and a new energy to our workspaces.

A special thanks to local framer and creative Ken Ramsey, who connected us with Noelle and supported the installation of her artwork here at The Workhouse.

The artworks on display are available to purchase, so whether you're visiting The Workhouse for a meeting, working from our hub or simply passing through, do take a moment to have a look.

Discover more about Emotional Landscapes and the inspiration behind Noelle's work on our website: https://theworkhouseenniskillen.com/news/

As the clocks go back this weekend, we remember how each day began at The Workhouse Enniskillen, with the sound of a bell.

At 6am in the summer and 7am in the winter, the sound of the Workhouse bell broke the silence, waking the house and signalling the beginning of another day.

The bell played an important role in daily life, calling those who lived here to wake, prayer and to meals.

Once positioned at the centre of the main Workhouse buildings, the original bell has now returned home.

Today, it hangs in our main entrance, a tangible connection to the lives, routines and stories of those who once lived here.

In The Workhouse, families experienced heartbreaking separation, enduring deliberately harsh conditions with little solace offered. The environment was intentionally harsh, designed to dissuade entry.

Upon arrival, individuals faced stringent regulations:
Admitted (at this stage separated according to age and gender)
Registered
Examined by a Medical Officer
Clothes taken
Clothes fumigated and put in storage
Given a Workhouse uniform

The photo below depicts one of the tags discovered during The Workhouse's restoration, a poignant reminder of David Johnson's admission on March 21st, 1849.
