Perhaps one of the better examples of a former Miners Welfare building. The stone plaque above the door on the right acclaims "Publ(i)c Hal(l) Entranc(e)" The final 'l' in Hall and the final 'e' in Entrance are both smaller letters inside the previous letter. The 'i' in Public is also shortened to reduce the spacing. Difficult to tell if this was planned or an oversight when marking out for carving.
