Oakdale Workmen's Institute
The Oakdale Workmen's Institute was built in 1917 to serve as a focus for social, educational and cultural life within the newly established coal mining community there. It was funded by a loan from the Tredegar Iron and Coal Company, which the miners then repaid over the following years.
The Institute eventually closed and was removed to St Fagans Museum in 1995.
