__NOTOC__ The Jessop Hospital for Women was a hospital in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. ==History== The Jessop Hospital for Women was opened in 1878 with funds from Thomas Jessop, a wealthy steelworks-owner. The architect was John Dodsley Webster.〔(English Heritage ) Jessop Hospital for Women〕 It was built to replace the old Sheffield Hospital for Women at Figtree Lane,〔( National Archives - Jessop Hospital for women, Sheffield. ) Gives details of Firth Auxiliary Hospital.〕 which had only nine beds. The building cost £26,000 - a lot of money at the time - all paid for by Jessop. Initially it had fifty-seven beds, and was built in the classic Gothic Revival style.〔 An Edwardian wing was built later, the hospital now accommodating 151 beds. Between 1927 and 1972 the hospital had a 45 bed annexe at Norton Hall known as the Firth Auxiliary Hospital.〔 A further wing was added in the 1970s, increasing this number to the 217 present at closure in 2001. The main maternity hospital in Sheffield is now the Jessop Wing of the Royal Hallamshire Hospital.〔(NHS Sheffield Teaching Hospitals ) Jessop Wing〕 In 2007 the majority of the 1970s wing was demolished by the University of Sheffield as part of their Jessop West development.〔(BBC South Yorkshire October 2008 ) Goodbye Jessop Hospital〕 The Victorian Wing of the original hospital was converted to house the Department of Music, who occupied it in 2009.〔(University of Sheffield Music Dept )〕 Despite being a Grade II listed building, demolition of the Edwardian wing started on 30 July 2013. Demolition was pursued in favour of renovation as it provides the University of Sheffield with a greater floor area for new development at a lower cost.〔(Sheffield Telegraph 22 April 2012 ) University gears up with £134m expansion scheme〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jessop Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
