Resolven Miners Welfare Public Hall & Institute
This imposing building is on the corner of Neath Road and Coronation Avenue.
The site on which the building stands was acquired in 1925. The hall formerly housed a cinema and theatre on the first floor, with performances usually attracting a capacity audience of about 750.
The ground floor has had a games room, including billiards and snooker, a reading room and, since the early 1960s, a licensed bar.

Coal empties for Cwmgwrach
Heading up the valley , the vale of Neath , a train of empty coal hoppers for the loading site at Cwmgwrach is pictured. The train is passing the former Resolven station site opened in 1851 and shut to passengers way back on the 21 March 1964. The line survived to move coal , however the trains are few and far between these days and it can be a very long wait to photograph movements on the line. Gritstone has also been moved in trains From Cwmgwrach on occasions.

Millenium Rail Ltd, Resolven
Premises at 25 Commercial Road, opposite Cory Street.
The business's name is missing an 'n' from the usual spelling of millennium. The 'rail' part of the name is a mystery, as various online references show that this is a recruitment agency. Recruiting only railway workers would probably be overly restrictive in the small village of Resolven...
