Blackwood_Miners_Welfare_Institute
The Blackwood Miners Welfare Institute (Welsh: Sefydliad y Glowyr Coed Duon) is a Grade II* listed building located at the north end of Blackwood High Street in Blackwood, Caerphilly, Wales and run by Caerphilly County Borough Council. Built and opened in 1925, it was originally used as a single floor snooker hall but was expanded eleven years later. It was sold to Islwyn Borough Council in 1989 after falling into disrepair and was reopened as an entertainment venue in February 1992.
It is a receiving venue for comedy, theatre and music and a producer in its own right. Its co-productions with Black Rat Theatre Company tour across Wales. [1]
