Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fir Vale Entrance, Northern General Hospital, Sheffield. This entrance - now just for pedestrians - was the original entrance into the Sheffield Union Workhouse, from which the Northern General Hospital evolved. Early photographs show another pair of pillars in the middle of the two remaining ones ... these must have been removed at some stage to turn the entrance into one that would allow traffic. The 'old' photographs also show a Gate Lodge and a building which was used by Tramps for overnight accommodation and a bath ... the building was under the control of a Tramp Master who ensured the Tramps 'paid for' their bed and bath by chopping firewood or other such task. It was quite a long uphill walk from these gates to the Workhouse entrance; a walk which would have filled you with trepidation methinks! Note the Hospital employee,(just)outside the gates, having a smoke (and cup of tea)! 1066694
