  Ruthin Union Workhouse was a workhouse on Llanrhydd Street, Ruthin, North Wales.
  
  ## History
  
  It cost £6,050 at the time and was opened on 4 February 1837. The work house was upgraded 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. The Ruthin Union workhouse was demolished in the 1960s: some parts were incorporated into the Ruthin Community Hospital.
