Greetings listers, Yorkshire Past and Present by Thomas Baines, published about 1873 has this information, and I quote; "This institution owes its origin to Mr. Alfred Harris, of Slengingford Park, Ripon, formerly a partner in Harris' Old Bank, Bradford. Grateful for the prosperity of his life, Mr. Harris in 1867 offered £4398 15s. toward the foundation of a fever hospital. Sir Titus Salt, Bart., of Saltaire, seconded this handsome offer with the munificent sum of £5000; and "A Friend" giving £3000, other large donations flowed in, and the result was the erection of a building at Penny Oaks, Leeds Road, which is believed to be one of the most complete and efficient fever hospitals in the kingdom. The design was prepared by Messrs. Andrews and Pepper. The hospital is erected on the detached pavilion principal. The administration department and the wards are connected with each other by covered corridors of glass and wood. The wards are only one story in height, and attached to them are convalescent wards. No expense was spared to render the hospital as perfect for its purpose as possible. The ! building, picturesque in appearance, stands upon a hill in the centre of several acres of land, and the grounds are tastefully laid out and planted with trees. The memorial stone was laid on September 10, 1869, by Mr. Alfred Harris, and the hospital was opened 16th January, 1872. The total expenditure for land, building, furnishing,&c., up to December 31, 1872, was £24,269 3s. 7d." Best wishes, David Binns, Tyneside.
