This hospital it appears was like PoW Camp 231 Redgrave Park PW Hospital in that it began life as a temporary hospital built for the Americans in the grounds of the main local hospital. This was latter used to accommodate in whole or part PoWs. However, unlike many of the temporary wartime hospital post war it was taken over by the NHS and became part of the main hospital for Carmarthen.

I have to suspect that from my own military background and have been to a number of older Military Reserve Hospitals that were built for WWII that it mainly consisted of wooden huts!. Whilst the wooden huts have now gone the site is best described as a typical medium sized NHS Hospital – a mix of the new, the old, the refurbished and the falling! And provides for NHS Accident and Emergency, local Outpatient Clinics, and minor surgery.

During my visit and walking around the site I suspect that a single original structure may have survived in what I believe may have been a canteen or social building of some form; this building is shown in the centre of the bottom row.
