- The Merthyr General Hospital was built in 1888, mainly by the efforts of Sir W.T.Lewis (Lord Merthyr), who obtained financial support from the Marquess of Bute, and by public subscription. His statue was erected in front of the hospital. The workmen of the local Ironworks, Coalmines, Railways, and Local Government paid a weekly subscription to the funds of the Hospital. From 1927 to 1947 the annual Whitsun Fete and Gala at Cyfarthfa Park was held to raise funds.

Superb skilful piloting and so fantastic photography ! Well done 👍 why do they let fabulous buildings just rot and go to rack and ruin? - Anyway thanks again Jonathan 😊
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
I was born there in 88
so sad I did my nurse training here in the days when matrons and doctors trained us you d be inspected by matron before you went on duty to make sure your uniform was clean and ironed your tights weren t laddered and your nails were cut short and clean and your hair had to worn up and off your collar
Mr George, I've been enjoying your photos on Facebook of Merthyr, old and new. Now I'll explore your YT clips. Ann Lewis has a 3-part history at www.merthyr-history.com. I passed by the hospital on a visit back home just a few weeks ago. My mother and grandfather both died here, cousins were born here, and my uncle was foreman of general maintenance. I see that planning permission has just been granted to convert the old buildings into flats, retaining the historic facade.
