Biographical history
The London Infirmary for the Cure of Diseases of the Skin was established in 1841. It was based at 84 London Wall. In 1844 the name was changed to the London Cutaneous Institution for the treatment and cure of non infectious Diseases of the Skin and the Hospital moved to 25 Bridge Street, Blackfriars. Finally from March 1850 it became The Hospital for Diseases of the Skin.
Repository
Archival history
The records of the Hospital for Diseases of the Skin have been arranged with those of the Guy's Hospital Group, although it was never part of the Group. They were deposited with the records of Guy's Hospital Group, long after the Hospital had closed down, and therefore may have been in the custody of Guy's Hospital for a number of years. In 1965 the Bermondsey and Southwark Hospital Management Committee was dissolved and Guy's Hospital took over the remaining Hospitals which had been administered by it. The Hospital for Diseases of the Skin had been one of those hospitals until its closure in 1953, so it is possible that its records were inherited by Guy's when it assumed responsibility for previous Bermondsey and Southwark hospitals, and deposited amongst its own records.
