The first stone of St Bartholomew’s Hospital on the Whitechapel site was placed in 1752. The East and West Wings were added in 1770 and extended in the 1830s. This site is where the first lectures took place at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, before the medical college was formally inaugurated. However, the original East Wing was destroyed in 2007.
