Sheffield Hospitals History Collection
Northern General Hospital Heritage Centre, Central Lane, Herries Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S5 7AU
Visitors will be shown around the collection of archive material by members of Sheffield Hospitals History Group, all of whom are retired NHS staff. Items in the collection primarily relate to voluntary hospitals such as the Royal Infirmary and Royal Hospitals and also to the Workhouse at Fir Vale (now the Northern General Hospital). Following a short introduction to the history of the hospitals, visitors will be able to browse old medical and nursing instruments and equipment from the hospitals as well as old photographs of patients, buildings, wards and staff.
Please note: there are no patient records in the collection. The event is not suitable for small children.
