Did you know that our building was the Leeds Union Workhouse? Opened in 1861, it accommodated 784 people paupers. This complex history has shaped how our galleries explore the link between poverty and public health. 🔗 Visit our website to learn more.: bit.pulse.ly/kzsbugqvtd

Brompton Cemetery is one of London’s Magnificent Seven garden cemeteries and is the resting place for Emmeline Pankhurst and John Snow. As a medical historian, it was great to see the grave of the doctor who determined cholera was waterborne in 1854 #histmed #london #cemetery

The National Museum of Civil War Medicine museum provides a fascinating look into the role of medicine during the US civil war including developments in ambulances and embalming the dead. Definitely worth a visit if in Frederick, MD. #histmed #maryland #history

When in the States, I visited Arlington National Cemetery Cemetery. It is a beautiful memorial to all of the individuals who died serving the US. It was a sombre experience seeing the rows of white headstones for the armed forces which appeared to stretch for miles. #cemetery #memorial #usa
