Ruthin Union Workhouse was opened on 4 February 1837 on Llanrhydd Street, Ruthin, North Wales.[1] It cost £6,050 at the time and held 200 inmates. The work house was upgrade in 1910, on a "square" layout with separate accommodation wings for male or female, infirm or able-bodied etc. The building radiated from a central hub.[2]
The Ruthin Union workhouse was demolished in the 1960s. Some parts survive incorporated in Ruthin Community Hospital.
