Chemist

THE CHEMIST, GREAT PULTENEY STREET

A. H. Hale Chemist, occupying one of the earliest commercial premises built in the city, has been trading since 1826. It’s interior is a treasure-trove of old fashioned medicine bottles and carboys – from its days as an apothecary’s shop.

Did you know … the beautiful coat of arms above the entrance relates to Charlotte Sophia, Queen of England and wife of George III. Not in it’s original home – it has been above the chemist door since 1982 after being discovered in the Guildhall basement!
