St Lawrence Hospital, Chepstow
St Lawrence Hospital was a specialist burns hospital on the west side of St Lawrence Road in Chepstow, Wales.History
St Lawrence Hospital was opened in 1942 and was used by the War Department throughout the war as a military hospital; patients included Italian prisoners of war. In September 1949, it was taken over by the Welsh Hospital Board and the Newport and East Monmouthshire Hospital Management Committee, to form a plastic surgery unit. Expansion in the 1950s brought the number of beds to 124, including a burns unit for which it became particularly well known. In 1994 the burns and plastic surgery units were transferred to Morriston Hospital, Swansea. The hospital was later demolished and the site used for housing.
