Description

The Royal Infirmary, built in 1771, is a three-storey red brick building. It features a symmetrical facade with two windows on each end and three in the center, all of which are sash windows with glazing bars and flat brick arches. The central section projects slightly and is topped with a pediment. There are cill bands above the long sash windows on the ground floor. A notable feature is the central one-storey semi-circular bow window, which has three sashes, a cornice, and a short parapet with capping. The building has an eaves cornice and a hipped slate roof, with a round window in the tympanum. At each end, there are two-storey wings that are set back and incorporated into a late 19th-century building.
