What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon
The Royal Infirmary was a hospital situated in the Upperthorpe area of Sheffield. It opened in 1797, with the entrance adorned with two statues by Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey, and accommodated one-hundred in-patients. Later, it joined the NHS in 1948, and closed in 1980 after services were transferred to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, with some buildings demolished and others converted into offices.
Written by John Daniel Leader, with assistance from Simeon Snell.
Illustrated with a frontispiece of the Infirmary, as well as plates through the text.
An insightful work describing the ins and outs of the hospital between its opening and the turn of the twentieth century.
