Former Dispensary, Castle Hill, Lancaster, Lancashire

This building was built as a Dispensary. It was built by public subscription in 1785 as the second home, until 1832, of the town's dispensary. The niche on the front originally contained a plaque representing the Good Samaritan. This was later removed and placed above the entrance of the Royal Lancaster Infirmary on Ashton Road.
