Abstract
In 1891, Queen Victoria visited Derby for the purpose of laying down the foundation stone of the new Derbyshire Royal Infirmary on London Road. The previous infirmary, designed by William Strutt that stood in the same location had been deemed unfit for purpose and its design was blamed for an outbreak of typhoid in 1890. This video outlines the occasion and discusses the Queen Victoria objects we have in the UHDB Medical Museum.
