Cardiff Royal Infirmary


Cardiff Royal Infirmary is built on the site of the former Longcross Barracks. The barracks were demolished in 1880 and the Infirmary opened in 1883 at a cost of £23,000 and then called the Glamorgan and Monmouthshire Infirmary and Dispensary.  It was renamed Cardiff Infirmary in 1895 and King Edward VII Hospital in 1911 and from 1923 Cardiff Royal Infirmary.
