  1. Just seen a picture of the new footbridge, and it looks a bit like Lego flanked by what look like Fire Station towers!

  2. UPDATE:- As soon as the new admin block had been finished in 1899, the old block was demolished the building of the new central block was started. By July 1902 it was finished and was in use. This new block contained five new wards all of the five wards all of which were named after past benefactors of the hospital and one was the 'May' ward. At this stage I can only confirm three of the five wards on the new block I dont know which of the wards listed below were the other two. A list of all wards are in the Royal Hospital Annual reports: Arthur Jackson Ward, Littlewood Ward, May Ward, Casualty Ward, Bingham Ward, Bernard Wake Ward, Norfolk Ward, Fred Osbourn Ward, Arthur Hall Ward, Keeling Eard, & Edgar Allen Ward Thank you for all the input it is very much appreciated.

  3. An extra snippet At the age of 17 Samuel Plimsoll worked for Thomas Rawson & co at their Pond Street Brewery, he was a junior clerk earning £1.00 a week. He became famous as described above and Rawson's Brewery was bombed in the war and ceased trading. Taken from Bygone Breweries of Sheffield.
