Exterior view of the old dispensary, which was situated at the junction of New Briggate, North Street and Vicar Lane. Built in 1865-67, and designed by Leeds architect William Hill, it was opened on 6 June 1867 by Sir Andrew Fairbairn. In 1900 it was proposed that the roads in this area be improved, a new dispensary was built a little lower down on North Street, at the junction with Hartley Hill, which opened in 1904. The right wing of the old building was demolished. The premises were used by various companies, then by 1913 it had been opened as a tuberculosis clinic. It is now a chest clinic and the building is listed. The very earliest Dispensary opened on 24th October in 1824 in the House of Recovery on Vicar Lane. This building dated from 1802/1804. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Old Dispensary North Street Vicar Lane | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
