Llandough, Hospital, Nurses Home c.1955

More about this scene
Executed in an imposing neo Georgian style, the hospital opened in 1933 and was completed the following year. Declining to adapt Edward Seward's original plans, the replacement architects, Willmott & Smith, drew up new ones at their own expense. The building was almost universally lauded for its modernity, and no major additions to the site were undertaken until the mid 1960s. The hospital's inaugural year was not without controversy – a minor furore ensued after an 'important post' was awarded to a sister of a city councillor.
