A cuboid display unit in the square at St Bartholomew's Hospital, part of the outdoor exhibition. Two panels of the four around the unit are visible; next to the unit is a lamp and a wooden shelter, and behind it are mature trees in leaf and the central fountain. One panel shows a large close-up photograph of pages from the hospital's medieval cartulary, where the text has been written around a hole in the parchment. The other, with the heading 'Explore' has images of items from the collections amongst a checkerboard design with details about Barts Health NHS Trust Archives and the Barts900 logo

Display units from the outdoor exhibition in Guildhall Yard, at the centre of the City of London. Behind the units are both medieval and modern buildings of Guildhall. Amongst the panels that can be seen are a large photograph of a hand, a photograph of the hospital's Hogarth staircase, and a black and white photograph of a female nurse pushing a male patient in a wheelchair in the square. People can be seen looking at and walking towards the display units

Did you spot the exhibition panels in the main entrance corridor of St Bartholomew's, in each episode of #OurHospitalThroughTime? They are a smaller version of the outdoor exhibition we mounted for #Barts900 three years ago. Explore more of the hospital's history via the online version: rb.gy/20khgd

Did you catch this week's episode of #OurHospitalThroughTime? Laundry has always been a vital part of the work of St Bartholomew's Hospital. In 1766, when Elizabeth Johnson was employed as washerwoman, the Governors heard complaints that laundry was often dried 'upon lines' in the Great Hall! (1/2)

Blue background with white text on it which reads - John Freke (1688-1756), Surgeon and Museum Curator Appointed assistant surgeon to St Bartholomew's Hospital in 1725. He began to specialise in eye surgeries, becoming one of the first specialists in England. One of his duties as assistant surgeon was to manage the anatomy museum. The museum was mostly made up of kidney and bladder stones. In July 1729 John became the main surgeon to the hospital. The chandelier, which has his name on it, was given to the hospital in 1735.

The Freke Chandelier hangs in the @bartsnorthwing.bsky.social and was a gift from one of the hospital's surgeons, John Freke, in 1735.
