Interior view of High Royds Hospital in its early years. It opened on 8th October 1888 as the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum and, after undergoing many positive changes, has only recently closed (2003) with a reprovision of services at The Mount Mental Health Unit at 45 Hyde Terrace, Leeds. Although the image is of poor quality it shows a ward with lofty ceilings, decorative features such as pictures and ornaments, and a table in the foreground with several potted plants. Two nurses in starched aprons and caps preside over their patients who are laid in hospital beds. The beds are arranged in rows, head to head. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Bradford Road High Royds Hospital hospital | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
