Originally built in 1768-1771, the building was extended in 1782 with the addition of beds bringing the total to 68. This cost ?500. A third floor with 20 beds was added in 1786 and a top storey in 1792 with another 20 beds. In 1818 Richard Fountayne Wilson gave a gift of land to extend the grounds. This building was demolished in 1893, leaving a single pillar behind the hotel Metropole. The Yorkshire Penny Bank was built on the site. A new hospital was built on Great George Street, which is the nucleus at the present hospital. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leeds General Infirmary | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
