Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox hospital The Lock Hospital for Women was a hospital in Glasgow for women suffering from venereal disease.

Background

The Glasgow lock hospital was established in 1805[1][2] at Rottenrow Lane. It moved to 41 Rottenrow in 1845.[3]

The origin of the term 'lock' may be in the French word 'loques', meaning rags and bandages, or from 'loke' a house for lepers.[4] Originally, the patients included women, usually those working as Prostitutes,[5] and even children who had been infected with syphilis.[6] The hospital depended on funding from subscribers in cash or in kind,[7] which in 1829 included stationery, vinegar and coal. The annual report from 1814 listed a remarkable 450 subscribers.[5]
