Details:
Went to the Manchester Grammar School. He was next a pupil of a well-known surgeon, John Windsor, then studied at the Manchester School of Medicine and Surgery in Pine Street, and at Guy's and St Thomas's Hospitals. In Manchester he practised in Gartside Street and then in Coburg Terrace, lectured on medical jurisprudence, and acted as Union Medical Officer. He afterwards removed to Hulme, where sanitation was deplorable, and experienced the cholera epidemic of the summer and autumn of 1849, and the typhus epidemic or 'Irish fever' of 1851-1852. The improvements in sanitation he was instrumental in obtaining lessened the gravity of the cholera epidemic of September, 1853 (*see* his Reports in 1849 and 1853). Richmond carried on a large practice, and for some years before his death lived at Ford House, Prestbury, Cheshire, where he died on December 17th, 1887.
