History
The hospital was founded in 1814 on the initiative of William James Wilson and opened in King Street the following year. It moved to Faulkner Street in 1827, to Princess Street in 1874 and to St John's Street in 1882, before re-locating to a facility designed by Pennington & Bridgen in Oxford Road which was built between 1884 and 1886. In 1915 the former hospital was still in use for outpatients. The building was damaged by a large bomb in the German air raid on 23 December 1940. A doctor and a nurse were killed. The building became Grade II listed in 1974 and has since been converted for other uses. Services moved to a new building on the Royal Infirmary site accessible to patients in 2009…
