The hospital was established in a private house known as "The Beeches" which was acquired from Frederick Piggott, a mining contractor. It was commissioned to provide healthcare to the
miners, who worked in the local pits, and their families. Miners paid weekly subscriptions of 2.5 pence to the hospital to raise the £30,000 needed. The hospital received its first patient on 2 July 1923. Caerphilly District Miners Hospital closed in November 2011. The site was subsequently redeveloped for housing and the main hospital building converted into a community centre. ==References==
