Comments about this page

The Lewes Road Dispensary for women and children was opened on Monday October 31st 1899, as is reported by the Sussex Daily News on Tuesday November 1st:
''Lewes Road Dispensary, No 145, Islingword Road, Brighton, which provides gratuitous medical aid for women and children, was opened on Monday, the time of attendance being from two till three o'clock. Gratifying appreciation of the new institution was shewn by the attendance of a good number of patients.''
If anyone has any photographs of the former dispensary before 2005, I would greatly appreciate a copy. Thanks.
