It was acquired by the miners from Mr Fred Piggott, a coal mining engineer, and was at that stage a red brick mansion known as The Beeches. The weekly subscription was 6d (2½ pence). The wards of the hospital were named after the local pits whose miners contributed to the funds that financed the building of the hospital - Nantgarw, Penallta, Bedwas, Llanbradach, Nelson, and Senghenydd.
