Colour-tinted postcard showing Leeds General Infirmary on Great George Street. Opened in May 1868 by the Prince of Wales, it replaced the previous hospital on Infirmary Street whose origins dated back to 1768. It was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, who was influenced by French hospitals he had seen on a visit with chief physician Dr. Charles Chadwick. The east wing, seen on the right here, was added in the same style by George Corson in 1891-92. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Leeds General Infirmary Great George Street hospital | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
