The Duke and Duchess of York at Sheffield: the Public Hospital and Dispensary, 1895. View of '...the Public Hospital in West Street which is being rebuilt and to which various extensions are being made. The new wing was opened by the Duchess of York, and different departments of the hospital were inspected...further accommodation would be provided for about seventy patients at a cost of £50,000, towards which total the Duke of Norfolk had contributed the sum of £5000. The Sheffield Town Trustees have subscribed the same amount: the late Mr. Bernard Wake gave £6150, and Mr. W. D. Allen has given £1000. The acquisition of ground has absorbed various generous legacies, notably that left by Miss Ray'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
