The view out of the main gates and entrance of the former Lodge Moor Hospital (now pedestrianised) onto Redmires Road. How many people must have passed through these gates during the hospital's life as a smallpox isolation hospital, then as a traditional infectious diseases hospital and finally when it was a general hospital and Regional Spinal Injuries Unit? Hundreds of thousands perhaps if one includes patients, visitors and staff. This site sits at an altitude of 280 metres (919 ft) above sea level and as such is one of the first locations in Sheffield to suffer the effects of snow falls.
