More about this scene

The hospital's 'attractive appearance belies … its age'. So proclaimed the South Wales Echo in its December 1956 review of the facility. At this time, Wales's most modern teaching hospital could boast 379 beds, with an aim to reach the 1000 mark. Reporters enthused over the retention of the hospital's rural aspect and warm, sunny wards, even judging its kitchens 'the finest in the country'.
