Parking at Eastern District Hospital, 253 Duke Street, Glasgow

Arriving at the Former Duke Street Hospital Site
The destination is identified as 253 Duke Street in historical records, while the current place address is 263 Duke Street, Dennistoun, Glasgow, G31 1HX. The former hospital opened in 1904 and was called the Eastern District Hospital as well as Duke Street Hospital (parkheadhistory.com).
Those details make the council car park the clearest published option for a longer stay near Duke Street, rather than treating the former hospital building as an operating NHS site.
Street Parking Around Duke Street and Dennistoun
The hospital building at number 253 Duke Street is a closed former health facility, so parking directly outside should be treated as ordinary city-street parking rather than a hospital visitor area (parkheadhistory.com; wikipedia.org).
The published NHS four-hour patient and visitor rule applies to NHS main-hospital car parks from Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 4.30pm, not to public streets (nhsggc.scot). For a long appointment or regular shift, a booked Parksy space or the council multi-storey avoids relying on a short-stay or resident-controlled kerbside bay.
