History
Doncaster Royal Infirmary started life as the Doncaster Dispensary in French Gate now Greyfriars Road in 1792 The foundation stone of the first purposebuilt hospital in Doncaster St James Hospital was laid in 1852 It eventually became the YMCA building and was demolished in 1963 to make way for town improvements

The governors of the Dispensary saw the need for an infirmary their goal was achieved in 1867 when a new building in Wood Street opened as the Doncaster General Infirmary and Dispensary Within 20 years the hospital was too small and unsuitable for the towns needs and developments in medicine The Wood Street site was extended but the project ran over budget A threeday fundraising bazaar was opened by HRH Princess Christian and this connection led to Home Office approval for the institution to be known as Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Dispensary
