 Item — Box Box 2 of 7: Series Coll-1167/B
Identifier: Coll-1167/B/26/18/9
Scope and Contents

The inscription on the original envelope containing this negative read "Deaconess Hospital" but negatives have previously been mis-placed in incorrect envelopes. It is more likely that the correct title comes from another envelope (originally Green Box, negative 86) titled "Near Bristo Street" which, although not very accurate, could apply here. Handwritten title by R. Dykes.
