Grub

Started at the Bethnal Green Working Mens club in their upstairs room, that used to be a Hospital...
The epidemic of 1849 led to the opening in 1850 of Queen Adelaide's dispensary with a resident medical officer in Warner Place. In 1865 its trustees, led by the Revd. E.F. Coke, acquired a site at the corner of Pollard Row and William Street, where a dispensary was built (opposite) in 1866 in a Renaissance style, with an elaborate tower and cupola. In 1868 Coke appealed for funds to aid the vast numbers of sick. In 1889 the dispensary dealt with 6,656 medical and surgical cases and 3,248 dental cases. It ceased to be a dispensary when it was registered as Queen Adelaide's charity in 1961 and governed by a scheme in 1963 to apply the income for the benefit of the sick poor of Bethnal Green. The building was a nurses' home for Queen Elizabeth's Children's hospital in the 1970s but was derelict by the end of the 1980s.
