Description: | c1907.
Tinted postcard view showing the interior of Ward 10 at Leeds General Infirmary c1907. After the 1891 extensions to the hospital designed by George Corson, this ward, running parallel with Thoresby Place, became the childrens' surgical ward and provided 31 beds with cot sides. At this time the ward would still have been lit with gas jets and had an open stove in the centre. From 1893 the operating theatres were installed with electric lighting and in 1892 the children's ward was decorated with a Christmas tree complete with electric lights. In the foreground is a large washstand with two big jugs and bowls and towel rails at either end. In the centre is a floral display. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Thoresby Place ward Leeds General Infirmary | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
