Oakdale Workmen's Institute
St Fagans National History Museum
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.
The building contained a Library, Reading Room, and Committee Room on the ground floor, and two small offices for the Institute's Secretary and Manager. A Concert Hall, originally seating more than 200 people, occupied the whole of the first floor.
The Institute closed in 1987 and two years later the building in Oakdale, South Wales was dismantled and transported to St Fagans.
