From LtoR: The Bakehouse and
the five halls / hostels (Hild, Alcuin, Ascham, Priestley, Acland).
I suspect that meals could have been prepared in the Bakehouse
and then trolleyed along the basement corridor to serve in each
hall. Notice also how the halls recognise a chronological development
of Yorkshire educationists:-
Hild
- St Hilda abbess of Whitby (614-680).
Alcuin
- Master of York School 750ish AD
Ascham
- Roger Ascham tutor to Queen Elizabeth the First born Kirby
Wiske 1515
Priestley
- Joseph Priestley, the
discoverer of oxygen, born at Fieldhead, Birstall (near IKEA)
in 1733.
Acland
- Arthur Herbert Dyke Acland a member of the West Riding
Education Committee responsible for Bingley College.
