08 LIFE AND STYLE

Robert Baker had come to Leeds in 1824 as a newly-qualified surgeon, appointed to look after the medical needs of the town’s poor. Born in York, the son of a druggist, he had been apprenticed at 14 to a surgeon in Hull, then trained in London at Guy’s Hospital, qualifying when he was 20. He was shocked and moved by what he found in Leeds, by the wretched lives of the poor and the terrible conditions they lived in, exploited by employers and landlords. Energetic and ambitious, he did not rest silent: he published a criticism of medical services at the Infirmary and pressed for improvements. He had to battle with people’s mistrust of doctors, exacerbated by scandals over the provision of bodies for dissection – he was briefly involved in a case over a ‘resurrectionist’ who had dug up bodies from graves in Armley to sell for medical research.

ON 28 MAY 1832 A LITTLE BOY, THE SON OF AN IRISH WOOLLEN WEAVER, FELL ILL AND DIED IN BLUE BELL FOLD, A FILTHY, OVERCROWDED SLUM IN THE BANK AREA OF LEEDS. HIS DEATH MARKED THE ARRIVAL IN LEEDS OF THE TERRIFYING EPIDEMIC OF ASIATIC CHOLERA, WHICH HAD CROSSED THE CHANNEL SIX MONTHS BEFORE, A SILENT, MYSTERIOUS KILLER. A YOUNG LEEDS SURGEON, ROBERT BAKER, WAS SUMMONED, AND TOOK NOTE OF THE DREADFUL CONDITIONS IN THE FOLD, THE POVERTY OF THE FAMILY, THE SPEED OF INFECTION. OVER THE NEXT MONTHS HE RECORDED AND MAPPED THE PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA, WHICH KILLED OVER 700 PEOPLE IN THE TOWN. NO ONE UNDERSTOOD HOW IT SPREAD, BUT ROBERT BAKER’S METICULOUS RECORDS LINKED THE DISEASE TO THE APPALLING LIVING CONDITIONS OF THE LABOURING POOR. HIS WORK LED TO NEW METHODS OF MONITORING PUBLIC HEALTH AND ULTIMATELY TO MUCH-NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS IN THE TOWN.

ritten in 1912 by the often overlooked female playwright, Githa Sowerby, the

play is a tense and claustrophobic family drama of pride, class, power, industry and ambition. This latest staging, with a new edit by longtime Broadsides collaborator, Blake Morrison, sees the action shifted slightly from the North East to West Yorkshire and has company artistic director, Barrie Rutter, heading up the cast as the titular domineering patriarch.

Worn Out? Tired?Worried About Falling?Would you turn the clock back 10 years if you could? Would you do it today?

I’m Jason and this is my friend Joan, 83. She limped round Meanwood with a stick, exercise was painful and she couldn’t get up if she fell down. Joan’s social scene was suffering and her body couldn’t keep up with her busy life. Joan had an epiphany one day and swore she’d take action to improve her quality of life. She began learning TaiChi at Meanwood’s Temple Holistic Centre in May 2011.

18 months later, Joan has turned the clock back 10 years. She has better balance, her health and her memory have dramatically improved and she loves life again. She is also half way to winning the legendary Black Sash!To discover the secret to renewing your energy and restoring your youth like Joan, switch off the telly and join us. You’ll turn your biological clock back 10 years and live life on YOUR terms again.

“You are never too old or too young, too healthy or too sick, too fat or too thin to do TaiChi”

We’re enrolling just 12 new students in February so don’t miss out, take action now!
