Did that move to Florence St in the Gorbals or were there two places ?
RDR wrote:Kelvingrove Museum have a display with artifacts and picture from some of the old Glasgow Asylums, but I always think a piece of work on old Glasgow Hospitals would be great, especially now that more of them are due to go in the next ten years. Half of Stobhill has gone, Victoria is due to go 2014-2016, but I suppose might get refurbed as housing and the older parts of the Southern General will get demolished as they build the new South Glasgow Hospital.
Parts of the Western and GRI were demolished years ago to allow them to build new blocks and some hospitals have disappeared altogether, like Oakbank, Robyroston, Phillipshill, Rutherglen maternity, Rottenrow, the original Beatson, Samaritin (though refubished as flats), David Elder, Belvidere, Ruchill (though still standing and derelict), the list goes on and on.
NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde have an archieve, which holds papers but I don't know about pictures and if it is open to the public. I wonder if anyone has ever thought of doing a book.......
