Viewed across the B4595. The Coflein website records that Cwm & Llantwit Welfare Hall was officially opened on October 21st 1933. The building contained a public hall (capacity 450), billiards hall, reading room and library. A smaller hall was unveiled in 1949. Extensions to the main hall in 1956 raised its capacity to 516. Difficulties in maintaining the hall as a going concern were ended with the arrival of a cinema - the Welfare Hall was renamed the Gaiety Cinema. The cinema closed in June 1964 at which time the former name was revived. Other activities hosted were boxing matches and dancing sessions. The hall remains in use as a social club.
