Details of the upcoming Life and Limb exhibition will appear at https://www.facebook.com/lifeandlimb over the coming weeks, pleased to say. If Facebook plays ball that is.

I'm coming across some wonderful background material for a leaflet I'm doing on the Square for Life and Limb. I've just been looking into the wonderfully named doctor, Alderman Thomas Houghton Waters (b.1826).
Another resident of these fair buildings, he was President of the BMA, won the Fotheringillian gold medal for his essay and historic book On the Anatomy of the Human Lung (1860) and published seminal works such as Diseases of the Chest (1868). I grant these may not sound particularly thrilling, but we're talking some very eminent bodies here! Well you should hopefully be able to see a bit of what I've been up to very shortly. Online project progressing apace and hopefully I'll have a Life and Limb Facebook page for you in a few days, you lucky folk!
