Worcestershire Royal Hospital

The new PFI hospital is left of centre with the short white chimney. The site is shared with commercial office blocks that are behind the tree in the centre and right of centre. The tall chimneys above the right hand office block belong to the old Newtown Hospital - now known as Aconbury and part of WRH.

Charles Hastings Postgraduate Medical Education Centre

This was built by private subscription and is run as a charitable institution on the Worcestershire Royal Hospital site. It includes an excellent medical museum and visits can be arranged. Charles Hastings was a founder member of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association and this later became the British Medical Association. This was founded in the old Castle Street WRI site and part at least is listed. Charles Hastings and his association is probably Worcester's greatest medical link.
