The Duke and Duchess of York at Sheffield: Cutlers' Hall, 1895. '...after various officials had been formally introduced, the Recorder of Sheffield read a loyal address of welcome from the Corporation, reminding the Duke of a visit paid to the city twenty years ago by his father and mother. The Cutlers' Company and the Town Trustees also presented addresses, to which the Duke of York suitably responded...In reply to an address presented by the Duke of Norfolk, his Royal Highness stated that further accommodation would be provided for about seventy patients at a cost of £50,000, towards which total the Duke of Norfolk had contributed the sum of £5000. The Sheffield Town Trustees have subscribed the same amount: the late Mr. Bernard Wake gave £6150, and Mr. W. D. Allen has given £1000. The acquisition of ground has absorbed various generous legacies, notably that left by Miss Ray. The Duchess of York received many cheques from ladies on behalf of the hospital, which, as her husband announced amid cheers, will henceforward be known as the Royal Sheffield Hospital. A luncheon was given by the Mayor and Corporation in Cutlers' Hall'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
