In researching her own family history, Sarah of Worcester Archives, discovered a link to Worcester Dispensary which was rebuilt in 1850. A blog post for Explore The Past resulted from this research and in this talk she discusses the research she was able to do on her own (particularly interesting) ancestor, and the sources she used for this, as possible inspiration to others. She also shares what she learned about Worcester Dispensary, once on Bank Street (near the now WHSmith’s building in Worcester High Street) and how this was run.

The museum will be open from 5pm to 6pm for visitors who would like to see the artefacts on display before the talk begins at 6pm in our Lecture Theatre.

Please note this event is at the George Marshall Medical Museum, in the Charles Hastings Education Centre on the grounds of Worcestershire Royal Hospital. We have a car park, but please consider using public transport. The 38 and X38 services run from the Crowngate bus station to the hospital site, and the talk will finish in good time for buses back to the bus station.
