In 1879 a working men's club and cocoa house was built on the High Street. The building was named the Foresters Hall; it is an impressive three-storey red brick building which is supported by the Bagillt Heritage Society. It was built to promote temperance and was originally associated with the Foresters Friendly Society. It was the first cocoa house built in Wales. http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/406209/details/forresters-hall-high-street-bagillt
