The film Burke and Hare, has a link to Kilkeel workhouse, in as such, William Hare has been reported to have ended his days here. Yes, he returned to Northern Ireland, or so I have been informed by a historian that I know. If you have never seen the film, it is a 2010 British black comedy film, loosely based on the Burke and Hare murders, starring Simon Pegg “Shawn of the dead, Hot fuzz” along with Andy Serkis, Tim Curry with Isla Fisher. I have included a link here for the film en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_%26_Hare_%282010_film%29 If you have never seen it, and like a good laugh “dark laugh” watch it ! Enjoyable..... Returning to Kilkeel workhouse, which became the local hospital and then had the half round “WW2” type huts added to it, (when, ? I dont know) it has since fell into a state of disrepair “to put it lightly” and some body had a little smoke in it ?? naughty, naughty. The first set of photographs are of the 1841 building, you can link to it and its part history workhouses.org.uk/Kilkeel/ I have marked the end of the photo set with a photograph of the burial banks, the second set or part 2 of the photographs show, you can see it here facebook/dtmccphotography
