Bryn Seoint is another one of those community hospitals that faced closure like many of the others in the UK. Over they years, it has been subjected to vandalism and arson attacks. Every year, the building falls more and more into disrepair. Makes for fantastic photography though.
History
Bryn Seiont Hospital was formed in 1914 as a sanatorium. It was managed by the Caernarfon and Anglesey Hospital Management Committee since the 1948 NHS Act and treated patients with tuberculosis, which was a scourge of quarrymen in the Caernarfon district during the 1930s. Following a local government reorganisation in 1974 the site fell under the control of Gwynedd District Health Authority, and then North West Wales NHS Trust from 1999. Bryn Seiont later became a hospital offering palliative care by Macmillan nurses for cancer patients and then a centre used by the Blood Transfusion Service and a base for ambulances.
