Victorian Corridor Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast

I'm in the Royal Victoria Hospital and I'm walking back in time along the historic Victorian Corridor. This corridor is in the old hospital wing and it dates right back to when the hospital moved from the original Frederick Street site to Grosvenor road in 1903. In this video I'm keen to let you have a glimpse of how thing s were in the past. so there are pictures of the old RVH and old pictures of nurses right through the decades. The corridor has been refurbished as a heritage area with marble tablets from the wards, early hospital plans and historical photographs.
The Royal Victoria Hospital (commonly known as "the Royal", the "RVH" or "the Royal Belfast") is a hospital in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The hospital (which provides over 20 percent of the acute-care beds in Northern Ireland and treats half a million patients a year) is undergoing a £74 million refurbishing. This includes an extension to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, new wards in the main hospital, a new accident and emergency department and a new maternity unit. The hospital has a Regional Virus Centre, which is one of the four laboratories in the United Kingdom on the WHO list of laboratories able to perform PCR for rapid diagnosis of influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in humans.
Early history
The Royal Victoria Hospital has its origins in a number of successive institutions, beginning in 1797 with The Belfast Fever Hospital and General Dispensary, located in Factory Row (although the dispensary originally opened in 1792). This moved to West Street in 1799, and then to Frederick Street in 1817. In 1847 the hospital separated from the General Dispensary and became the Belfast General Hospital. In 1875 it gained the royal charter,[3] becoming the Belfast Royal Hospital, and in 1899 it was renamed the Royal Victoria Hospital. In 1903 it moved from Frederick Street to its present (Grosvenor Road) site. The site consists of the original Victorian buildings (some visible from Grosvenor Road) and later, less architecturally-distinguished buildings. The original Victorian designs are a partial adaptation of the English Renaissance style. The material of the original buildings is typical for Belfast: red brick with Portland stone dressings.
