  • 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.

  • Public Parks and the Differentiation of Space in Leeds, 1850–1914
    Urban History (2021), 48, 552–571 doi:10.1017/S0963926820000449 RESEARCH ARTICLE Spaces apart: public parks and the differentiation of space in Leeds, 1850–1914 Nathan Booth1, David Churchill2* , Anna Barker3 and Adam Crawford4† 1Independent Scholar 2Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, School of Law, University of Leeds, LS2 9JT 3Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, School of Law, University of Leeds, LS2 9JT 4Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, School of Law, University of Leeds, LS2 9JT *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract While the Victorian ideal of the public park is well understood, we know less of how local governors sought to realize this ideal in practice. This article is concerned with park-making as a process – contingent, unstable, open – rather than with parks as outcomes – determined, settled, closed. It details how local governors bounded, designed and regulated park spaces to differentiate them as ‘spaces apart’ within the city, and how this programme of spatial governance was obstructed, frustrated and diverted by political, environmental and social forces. The article also uses this historical analysis to provide a new perspective on the future prospects of urban parks today. Introduction How might an urban historian approach the Victorian municipal park? It was both an ideal space – a jewel in the civilized and harmonious city of the future – and an actual space in which people met, played, rowed and rallied.1 This immediately sug- gests two broad modes of investigation: first, a cultural history of how the park was represented, and how it imaginatively constituted collective identities and attach- ments; second, a social history of how the park was experienced in everyday life, and how it functioned as a crucible of wider social relations.
