A Tale of Two Jameses
Thackray Museum of Medicine, 141 Beckett Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS9 7LN
Between them, Dr James Allan and Mr James Ford devoted decades of their working lives to the welfare of local people, as Medical Superintendent of the Leeds Union Infirmary and Clerk to the Board of Guardians respectively. Both were honoured in the naming of St. James's Hospital in 1925, but what were their accomplishments and how did they pave the way for the city's huge medical institution of today?
Step back in time with our speaker, Lesley Collins, as she draws on research by the Thackray Museum's heritage volunteers to commemorate these influential individuals with an illuminating new talk.
Tickets booked in advance for the talk include free admission for the named individual to the museum galleries on the day of the event.
