History

The facility was established on a part of the Penrhyn Estate as an isolation hospital in 1895.[1] An additional hospital wing was added in 1937 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it served as a convalescent home.[2] After services had transferred to Ysbyty Gwynedd, it closed in 1984 but then re-opened as a mental health facility in 1988.[2] It finally closed completely in 2006[3] and Gwynedd Council approved demolition of the deteriorating buildings in August 2019.[4]
