Located between Byron Street and Montgomery Street. The building was erected in 1887 as the Brighton, Hove and Preston Dispensary (Western Branch) and renamed Hove Hospital in 1918. Always cramped for space the hospital had an extension built in 1934 and moved into the nurses accommodation in 1946. However, the site became less suitable over time and closed the casualty department in 1970 and finally moved to a new site off Nevill Avenue in 1997. The block was subsequently converted into flats and given a name to match the neighbouring streets which is locally known as Poets Corner.
