The London Hospital in 1753 - from an old print, 1876. 'Her Majesty having expressed a hope that her visit to open the "Grocers' Company's Wing" might result in substantial benefit to the charity, a Special Appeal is now made to the Public in Aid of the Hospital Funds. The Committee are gratified to announce that her Majesty immediately after her visit...was pleased to mark her sense of the value and importance of this institution to the poor of the eastern half of the metropolis by a donation of Five Hundred Guineas. The fixed income of this Charity is only £14,500 a year. The annual expenditure already exceeds £35,000. There are upwards of 600 patients constantly in the wards, the number on a recent occasion rising as high as 641. Including those in the new wing, the London Hospital now contains 800 beds, and is, consequently, the largest institution of the kind in the Kingdom'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
