History from web.


The Brecon and Radnor Joint Asylum, opened in 1903 becoming the Mid Wales Hospital Talgarth, in 1921. on a smaller scale than many, it was originally built to cater for 352 patients. The compact arrow layout still boasted a farm, tailor, baker, shoe maker, printing shops and a church as well as market gardens covering 8 acres. The first world war contributed to episodes of overcrowding, with inmates at one point swelling to 455.The hospital closed in 2000.
