The Royal Infirmary was the first purpose-built hospital in Chester, and served as such until 1993, when it was replaced by the Countess of Chester. It was one of the first places to practise isolation for infectious cases, to pioneer inoculation, and where cleanliness was thought important to the welfare of patients. It has now been converted into apartments. You can read more about it here:
