History

The hospital was originally established at a public house in Westgate Street 1755 but moved to more permanent premises, which were designed by Luke Singleton and erected in Southgate Street, as the Gloucestershire General Infirmary in 1756.[1][2] The Infirmary merged with the Gloucestershire Eye Institution in 1878[1] and, with the permission of King Edward VII, the combined facility became the Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary and Eye Institution in 1909.[2]

On the introduction of the National Health Service in 1948 it was amalgamated with the Gloucester City General Hospital.[1] The hospital in Southgate Street closed to in-patients in 1975 and to out-patients in the early 1980s.[1] It was demolished in 1984 and replaced by offices known as Southgate House.[3]
