1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Union Infirmary, Griffithstown, Pontypool, Monmouthshire, circa 1908 This evocative photograph captures the Union Infirmary at Pontypool Workhouse, located on Coedygric Road in Griffithstown, Monmouthshire. Established in the late 19th century, the infirmary was an essential part of the workhouse complex, providing medical care for the paupers who resided there. The site later became Panteg County Hospital, serving the community for many decades. The Union Infirmary, a two-story brick building, stands proudly against the backdrop of a hilly landscape. The symmetrical design, with its large windows and central entrance, exudes an air of institutional orderliness. The building's red-tiled roof, supported by ornate chimneys, adds to its charm. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the living conditions of the time. The surrounding grounds, dotted with trees and a few outbuildings, suggest a self-sufficient community. The image also hints at the hardships faced by those who sought refuge in the workhouse, as well as the dedication of the staff who cared for them. Monmouthshire, a historic county in southeast Wales, was known for its coal mining and iron industries. The Union Infirmary at Pontypool Workhouse reflects the socio-economic realities of the time, providing essential medical care to the less fortunate members of the community. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who lived and worked in this humble institution.
