History

The site for the hospital was acquired from Octavius Price.[1] The hospital was designed by Gasenius Lewis and built by W A Linton.[1] The hospital, which was paid for from subscriptions by local mining communities, opened as the Nantyglo Hospital on 2 January 1911.[1] The maternity ward was officially opened by the Duke and Duchess of York on 17 March 1932.[1] The hospital joined the National Health Service as the Blaina and District Hospital in 1948.[2]

After services transferred to the Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan in Ebbw Vale it closed in 2010.[3] The building was subsequently demolished and the site cleared.[1]
