The Surrey Dispensary was opened in 1777 in Union Street, and was "a charitable institution for gratuitously attending lying-in women and providing medical and surgical aid to the poor inhabitants of the borough of Southwark and places adjacent." It moved to this site off [Great] Dover Street in 1840.
