Minffordd Hospital ( Welsh: Ysbyty Minffordd) was a health facility in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales. It was managed by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
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]
