The Caernarvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary, commonly known as the C&A, was a general hospital in Bangor, Wales.
It was first established in 1809 and demolished in 1984, replaced by the new Ysbyty Gwynedd on a different site.
History
The hospital was first established as the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Loyal Dispensary in 1809, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of Geroge III's reign. It initially had only a small building intended to help provide smallpox vacciniations, but in 1845 moved to a much larger site in Upper Bangor, funded by subscription from local gentry. Despite this it remained a small hospital, having only 11 beds in 1882.
The site was closed in 1984 as the new Ysbyty Gwynedd hospital opened in Penrhosgarnedd. It was ultimately demolished and replaced with what is now a Morrison's supermarket.
