The Chamber Under the Playground

The Chamber Under the Playground Two boys were playing on old ground in Tuam, Ireland in 1975. They found a hidden concrete chamber. Inside were the bones of children. Dozens, aged newborn to three years. The old Mother and Baby Home had buried them there. Between 1925 and 1961. No one had marked the ground. Decades later, historian Catherine Corless's research forced a formal excavation in 2016-2017.
