The Royal Victoria Hospital was a health facility in the High Street in Dover, Kent, England. The original hospital is a Grade II listed building.
The hospital was established by the conversion of an early 19th century mansion known as Brook House to form the Dover Dispensary in 1851.[1] An annex was added to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887.[1] It became the Dover Hospital in 1893 and the Royal Victoria Hospital in 1902.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] After services had transferred to the Buckland Hospital, it closed in May 1987 and the buildings were subsequently converted into apartments.[1]
