BLAENGARW WORKMEN'S HALL

Constructed in 1893 and officially opened on March 5, 1894, Blaengarw Workmen's Hall stands as a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of the coal miners in the Blaengarw mines. Each miner contributed two pence weekly from their wages to fund the construction of a facility that would cater to their educational, creative, and cultural pursuits. With an investment of £3400, the hall housed a comprehensive library, a reading room, a cinema, and a theater. It quickly became the central hub for community activities, sporting events, and various meetings.
