MID WALES HOSPTAL, TALGARTH, WALES.

[Perjury Saint]

I've had my this 'ole girl on my to do list since I got into this splorin' malarkey a few months ago... SHE DIDN'T DISAPPOINT!!
Here's a bit of history which I lifted from Wiki...

Opened March 1903 by the Rt Hon Lord Glanusk and initially dedicated to treating patients from Brecknockshire and Radnorshire, after WW1, patients from Montgomeryshire were also admitted and the 'asylum' was extended and renamed the 'Mid Wales Counties Mental Hospital'.
During WW2, most of the hospital was given over to military use and most of the patients were transferred to other Welsh mental hospitals.
It returned to civilian use in 1947.
After becoming part of the NHS in 1948, the site also became home to the 'Mid and West Wales College of Nursery' and the 'Powys Drugs and Alcohol Council'.
With the advent of 'care in the community' and changing attitudes to mental healthcare, services were wound down during the 90's and the last wards closed their doors in 1999

Unfortunately due to time constraints I only managed about two thirds of her, guess I better nip back and do the rest... ASAP me thinks!!
Brilliant splore... ON WITH THE PICTURES!!
