History
The hospital has its origins in the Denbighshire Dispensary which became the first voluntary hospital in Wales when it was established in Park Street in 1807.[1] A purpose-built facility, which was designed by Thomas Harrison, was built in Park Street between 1810 and 1813.[2] It started admitting inpatients and became the Denbighshire Infirmary and General Dispensary from March 1826.[3]
It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and became a community hospital in the 1980s.[4] The Princess Royal visited the hospital to celebrate its bi-centenary in October 2007.[5]

gollark: Ah, but C is lower level and probably more work in general.
gollark: PHP is an exciting mishmash of thin wrappers for C libraries, horribly named general utilities, "good" "OOP" tacked on later, and random things someone once used.
gollark: The actual C socket API has basically that interface, if I remember my accursed dealings with it right.
