View of Roundhay Hall located off Jackson Avenue looking from Davies Avenue. This hall was built c.1835 for John Goodman. It was bought in 1916 by Edward Allen, Lord Brotherton. He had been Lord Mayor of Leeds in 1913-14 and was knighted in 1918. He was created Baron Brotherton of Wakefield in 1929 and died in 1930. He had donated ?200,000 to Leeds University between 1927 and his death, and he laid the foundation stone for the Brotherton Library in his last public ceremony in June 1930. The Brotherton Collection of books was presented to the University in 1935. Roundhay Hall later became an NHS hospital for women before becoming a BUPA hospital in the late 1980s. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Roundhay Hall | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
