Here is a little info on this, the workhouse was up where St. Mary's Hospital is now on Poorhouse lane.

It would be worth a trip the the museum in Millmount they'll have more info on the workhouse or talk to the Old Drogheda Society they have published loads of books on Drogheda I'm sure the workhouse is covered by these.
