The former John Usher Institute of Public Health, built in 1902, is now a block of flats for university students. When first built, the roadway outside was laid with wooden instead of granite setts to deaden the sound of wheeled traffic that might disturb the concentration of students attending lectures. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2512719/pdf/brmedj08228-0061.pdf Image
