Located on Gwern Avenue. In addition to being a community centre, the building houses the Aber Valley Heritage Centre & Museum. Many of the displays relate to the mining disasters that befell this small community. 81 miners were killed in the first Universal Colliery Disaster in 1901. In 1913, a gas explosion at the colliery killed 439 miners and a rescuer.
The building opened in 1900 as Senghenydd Workmen's Hall, providing a library and reading room, public hall, and other features typical of a miners' institute of the time.
