Description

The University Dispensary existed from 1828 to 1834. It was the fore-runner of University College Hospital, which was founded in 1834. The buildings shown here still existed in March 1971, on the west side of Gower Street to the north of the Cruciform Building (Merrington, loc. cit.): they seem to have been demolished in the 1970s
