View of the chapel at High Royds Hospital, taken at the time the site was being converted into a residential village. Surprisingly there had been no church provided when the hospital was built in 1888, though one was included in the original architects' plans. Despite many pleas over the years it was not until 1967 that the chapel was finally built; previous to this church services had been held in an assembly room. The chapel was destroyed by fire in 1980 and the new one seen here, dedicated to Christ the King, was built in 1983. A multi-faith quiet room was later opened nearby. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | asylum High Royds Hospital chapel | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
