Read these over Xmas. Both really excellent books and, growing up in the eighties myself, (I’m pretty much the same age as @kathyburke.bsky.social) brought back many happy memories of those heady days. Interesting cross overs as well as they were both burgeoning talents at the same time.

The York Dispensary was founded in 1788 in a single room at the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall, offering free medical care to the poor and home visits when required. It later moved to St Andrewgate in 1808, before occupying a purpose-built building on New Street in 1829. By the end
