Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary

The Gloucestershire Royal Infirmary was a hospital in Southgate Street, Gloucester.

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.
