Workhouse burial ground - part of Ballymena history preserved

BALLYMENA Councillors have praised the Northern Health and Social Care Trust for helping to protect an important - if tragic - part of local history.

Several months ago, Ald. Martin Clarke and Ald. Maurice Mills received a complaint from a member of the local public, who was concerned at storage containers being sited in the vicinity of the ‘pauper burial ground’ at the rear of the Braid Valley Hospital site.
