Forty-Six Years Ago

This Interesting old photograph loaned to us by Mr. William Mitchell, of 5, St. Andrew’s Road, Conisbrough, was taken in May, 1905.

It shows the Montagu Hospital, Mexborough, as seen from Adwick Road, looking across the lower end of Cemetery Road, on the opening day. The neatly ploughed and hedged field in the left foreground has long since been built on, and the main administrative block of the Hospital, seen on the left, has been considerably extended since this picture was taken.
