This image appeared in our sister paper, The Herald, then The Glasgow Herald on Friday, August 6, 1926, marking the formal opening of the Glasgow Ear, Nose and Throat hospital.
It shows the open roof, where “indoor” patients could take the air at the new premises, which cost £60,000.
Minister for health Neville Chamberlain performed the opening ceremony at the premises in St Vincent Street.
He took the chance to give an important statement on the future of voluntary hospitals, discussing the possibility of a scheme to allow municipal and voluntary hospitals to work in close co-operation.
He suggested that voluntary hospitals could be represented at a central health authority in every district, which would decide on the hospital requirements for its area.
The Glasgow hospital had opened in 1872 as a dispensary,  was recognised in 1880 as specialising in diseases of the ear and changed its name in 1905 to include diseases of the nose and throat.
On the creation of the NHS, it was placed under the control of Glasgow Western Hostpitals Board of Management and closed in 1982.
