The Portsmouth and South Hampshire Eye and Ear Infirmary

This hospital, which was situated on the corner of Clarence View and Pembroke Road, was opened in 1884. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, then practising as a doctor in Portsmouth, was instrumental in its establishment. The building was gutted during the Blitz in 1941 and the hospital was moved to temporarily to Liss before returning after the War to Grove Road North. It finally became apart of  Queen Alexandra Hospital in 1971.
