Brough Superior X-ray created by Hugh Turvey to mark the generosity of Robert and engage the public with Robert's story.

Robert White was an internationally renowned photographic retailer. He died last year, aged 62. But before he died, he arranged to sell his collection of vintage motorbikes and cars to pay for a new cancer wing at the hospital, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. His collection of Brough Superior bikes was sold to a fellow enthusiast, Jay Leno, the American chat show host, for £3.5 million. The incredible generosity shown by one man is set to leave a remarkable legacy for patients with cancer in Dorset for years to come.

Martin Clunes officially opened the Robert White Centre in 2018.
