History
The hospital has its origins in the Merthyr Tydfil Union Workhouse and Infirmary which opened in September 1853.{{cite web|url=http://www.workhouses.org.uk/MerthyrTydfil/|title=Merthyr Tydfil|publisher=Workhouses|accessdate=10 February 2019}} An entrance block was completed in 1870 and a new hospital was opened to the north of the workhouse in 1899. It became the Tydfil Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it received a visit from the Queen Mother in 1987.{{cite web|url=http://www.alangeorge.co.uk/TheUnionWorkhouseAndStTydfil'sHospital.htm|title=The Union Workhouse & St. Tydfil's Hospital|publisher=Alan George|accessdate=10 February 2019}} After patients had transferred to Ysbyty Cwm Cynon, it closed in 2012 and most of the workhouse buildings were demolished in 2015.
