Old Photograph Royal Alexandra Infirmary Paisley Scotland

Old photograph of the Royal Alexandra Infirmary in Paisley by Glasgow, Scotland. This Scottish hospital can trace its history back to 1788, when a dispensary for the poor was established. In 1805, this became a House of Recovery for catering for those with infectious diseases, which developed into a general infirmary with medical and surgical wards in 1850. Renamed the Royal Alexandra Infirmary, it moved to a new building in 1900 and then again, to the current site, in 1986.
