Well 2013 is coming to an end so a nice end to the year to visit the Derbyshire Royal Infirmaryl. quite surprised to find it in fairly good nick, quite a lot to see and still didn't cover the whole site!
During the year that he was Mayor of Derby, Sir Alfred Seale Haslam managed to replace the old William Strutt Infirmary with the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary. In 1890 there had been an outbreak of disease at the old infirmary and Sir William Evans, President of the Infirmary arranged a three day inspection which condemned the old building. When Queen Victoria came to open the new hospital on 21 May 1891 she knighted Haslam for his services and gave permission for the term "Royal" to be used. (Pinched from Wiki)
