  • Florence Nightingale and Her Connection with Leeds
    Florence Nightingale and her connection with Leeds In 2020 we celebrated the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. On 25th of November, Stephanie Davies, Community Curator at Lotherton Hall kindly gave a very interesting Power Point presentation about Florence via Zoom to the u3a History group and we were joined by several members of the wider Garforth and Kippax u3a group. Some of the information provided is described below. The talk centred on Florence Nightingale’s connections to both Lotherton Hall and Leeds General Infirmary. The talk provided a fascinating example of how, in her post-Crimea years, Florence worked tirelessly with specialists in different fields to further her causes. The talk was accompanied by a wealth of vivid pictures illustrating everything from ward layouts to architectural details. Leeds General Infirmary was first created in 1767 as a place for the relief of the sick and injured poor in the Leeds parish. The first site was in a private house on Kirkgate. After four years the infirmary moved to a new site on Infirmary Street near City Square on the site of Aspire, previously the old Yorkshire Bank. It remained there until 1869. In 1862, Florence Nightingale was consulted on the building of a new hospital in Leeds by William Beckett Denison who was a banker and conservative MP. The architect appointed for the new Infirmary was George Gilbert Scott, the head of England’s largest architects. He was also the architect for St Pancras Hotel adjoining St Pancras Station and there are many similarities between the two gothic design buildings.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STRFFT AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 . 737-4215/842-6353 Revised: July 1985 EXHIBITION FACT SHEET Title: THE TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRIVATE PATRONAGE AND ART COLLECTING Patrons; Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales Dates: November 3, 1985 through March. 16, 1986. (This exhibition will not travel. Most loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late suitmer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits: This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration with the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. British Airways has been designated the official carrier of the exhibition. History of the exhibition; The idea that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art evolved in discussions with the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery of Art, proposed an exhibition on the British country house as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.
