Entrance to Abbot Hall
1920s
View across Kirkland from Gillingate showing the lane leading to Abbott Hall with part of a half-timbered building on the right. On the left is the old Dowkers Hospital, (known as the Old Maids Hospital). The building was endowed in 1831 and looks out of proportion to nearby buildings. A group of twenty children and one adult (teacher?) stand in the road. Few are looking at the camera.
