I remember being taken there in the 1950's again via the side entrance. Nothing serious, just a scrape on my elbow which had turned a bit nasty.volvojack wrote:Leodian wrote:Seeing this old door bell push button on the North Street frontage of the old Dispensary made me wonder of the many people that will have used it, at least particularly when the building was still a dispensary that did emergency treatment and if needed also hospitalised them. Admittedly the building's main entrance was (still is) on Hartley Hill but the North Street door may likely have been used a lot. I took these photos on April 1 2016 (not an April Fool prank). The first is a close-up of the button, the second shows the doorway with the button and the nice carving above it and the third is a view of the North Street frontage of this very fine building.
PS. I pressed the bell but heard nothing and nobody came, though I'm not sure what I would have said if someone had come!
Don't recall ever seeing that front door in use when I worked in North Street in the 1950s, The times I visited there the entrance was on Hartley hill opposite the car park.
