The workhouse was open right up to 1930 when the remaining inmates were transferred to Coleraine, the building then became the local hospital and from 1937 to 1997, the Roe Valley Hospital. Today it is occupied by the Limavady Community Development Initiative and you can get a guided tour around the building on request, within are some fascinating displays and stories relating to the life in and around the workhouse. There are also stories of hauntings and ghosts being seen in and around the site. Jimmy Curry, the blind fiddler who is credited with playing the lament that Jane Ross overheard, which later became the air ‘Danny Boy’ or ‘Londonderry Air’, in his later years lived and died in the workhouse. He was buried in an unmarked grave in Tamlaghtfinlagan Church at Ballykelly.
