Located in Meadow Street opposite Ivor Street. From a distance looking like a chapel, this Workmen's Institute was erected 1901 to provide miners with a library and reading & meeting rooms. The building was Grade II listed in 1997. Its usage (if any) at the early September 2014 date of this photo is unknown by this contributor. With some windows boarded up, it has an appearance of disuse.
