Description
|
This building is an extension to the
Leeds General Infirmary first planned in 1926 in
the modern style. The attractive
semi-circular balconies were intended to offer
patients an opportunity to rest and enjoy the
fresh air although the availability of air that
could be regarded as fresh adjacent to a road
that was increasingly busy with motor vehicles
is problematic. Apparently, the building
was named after Charles Frederick Brotherton its
benefactor.
