Clydach War Memorial Hospital

The hospital was founded by public subscription in 1925, on land given under covenant by the owner of the local tinplate works, W.J. "Percy" Player. A prototype community cottage hospital specialising in front-line mining injuries from the many private mines in the Swansea Valley, it joined the National Health Service in 1948, but was soon overshadowed by the much larger Morriston Hospital.^[1] It was re-opened following a £1 million refurbishment in March 2003 and continued to provide community based, clinic services until it closed in 2015.^[2] The main building was converted into apartments for ex-servicemen and women in 2017.^[3]
