In 1920 there was a hospital known as the cottage hospital in i think llandudno, can anyone please tell me where about it was located? is it still there? and if not what has replaced it. Hope you can help thank you.

Hi,

I have not heard of a Cottage Hospital in Llandudno, though there may have been one there, but as a Caernarfon Town Historian, I can assure you that there was one in Caernarfon. It was a red bricked building in St. David's Road and was built in 1900 through public subscription. Shortly after the National Health Service came into being in 1948 it became known as The Eye and Cottage Hospital and eye operations were carried out there until a special unit was opened in Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor in the 1970's. It remained as a Cottage Hospital for some years afterwards until it was eventually closed down, and new houses were built on the site about 10/15 years ago.

I do have a photo of the old hospital a copy of which I can send you offline.

Regards,
