A plaque marking the townhouse where Joseph Lister lived between 1860 and 1869, while he was the Professor of Surgery at Glasgow University. During this time, he also worked at Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he developed the basis for antiseptic surgery that is one of the core elements of modern medicine. If you have ever had surgery of any kind, there's a good chance you owe your life to the work Lister carried out while he lived here.
