My Neurosurgeon (FRCS) father Dr. D. S. Mehta bought some equipment from them at a princely sum of £8 17s 4d & got this princely receipt!

Last week's Susan Calman's Great British Cities was all about Leeds as a cradle of innovation. Susan even talked to our fab curator Laura Sellers about legendary surgeon and Leeds Teaching Hospitals co-founder William Hey.
