The Royal Infirmary was a hospital in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. The establishment opened in 1792 under the name ''Sheffield General Infirmary'', renamed Royal Infirmary in 1897 and closed in 1980. Built by J.D.Webster & Sons, many of the establishment's features made it unique. An innovative octagonal outpatients department was built in 1884, and was lit by a cupola. It had a roof of wrought iron lattice girders and a tiled waiting room with the consulting rooms leading off it. Young & Hall, specialists in hospital architecture, extended it in 1900. A nurses home was built on the grounds in 1897. The original block, along with its south-east and south-west wings, has been renamed Heritage House and is a Grade II * listed building.〔English Heritage (1995) (Heritage House. ) ''Images of England'' (accessed 7 May 2006).〕 Part of the site is now occupied by a Tesco supermarket and part is offices occupied by () insurance. The hospital was used for filming a casualty scene from an imagined nuclear attack on Sheffield in the 1984 film Threads. ==References== 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「Sheffield Royal Infirmary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
