Indeed the Hunger, 2006
In 1845, an already poor Ireland was hit by a potato blight, which wiped out small farmers and left thousands without adequate food in a period known as the Great Hunger. A system of workhouses or poorhouses was built by the British government to care for the starving who remained in Ireland. Indeed the Hunger combines the Census Report of 1851 and workhouse documents from the National Archives with photographs of one of these haunting, ruined structures in Bawnboy, County Cavan.
