The facility has its origins in the Newtown Limavady Union Workhouse which was designed by George Wilkinson and was completed in March 1842.[1] It became the Limavady District Hospital in 1932 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, the facility evolved to become Roe Valley Hospital.[2] After services transferred to Altnagelvin Area Hospital, Roe Valley Hospital closed in 1997.[3] The buildings were subsequently restored by the Limavady Community Development Initiative, a local charity.[3] In 2011 the facility was used as the venue for a play by a local theatre company[4] and it continues to be used for local health services such as diabetes clinics.[5]
