MPX5128275: Ely Hospital - Ely Hospital, Cardiff held an 'open day' yesterday (Wed) and members of the public were invited to tour the hospital. One of the old wards at the hospital. *FROM the time it opened as a Poor Law institution for orphaned children in 1862, Ely Hospital was a destination for people who had no families to care for them. In some cases, this was because members of their close family had died but in others the reason was altogether darker. In the late 1940s a 15-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital because she was pregnant and unmarried. After having her baby there, which went on to be adopted, the girl stayed on. When the hospital closed more than half a century later in 1997, the girl now a pensioner was one of the first patients to be resettled in the surrounding community. One former staff member who remembered the woman, who has not been named in order to protect her identity, said: She didn't have a learning disability when she went in, but she left the hospital diagnosed with having one. 30th June 1971 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
