THE LOCATION

Thackray Medical Museum, once one of Leeds’ largest workhouses, stands proudly on the grounds of the renowned St. James Hospital. As night falls, this Grade II listed building unveils its eerie history, inviting exploration into its haunting tales.

The workhouse opened in 1861, built to accommodate over 700 paupers under harsh and grueling conditions. As the years passed, its role gradually diminished. Eventually, it transitioned into a hospital, and after further changes, it ultimately became a museum dedicated to the history of medicine.
