The Welfare Hall
The Welfare Hall in Abercraf is home to the Sleeping Giant Foundation. Inside, the splendour of a miner's community hall can still be seen complete with stage and balcony along side the new addition of the foundation's media suite.

I remember being sent to the cinema becaues my brother was due to be born in the house and the man on the door asking if i was a member.He knew me for about 10 years. I was in HMS Forces. I still go in for a pint when i get home.

As a boy i remember the welfare hall which had a snooker hall, a reading room and librery as well as a cinema this hall was the first cinema to install cinamascope screen and stereo sound, the first picture screened was i think The Robe with Richard burton and Elizabeth Taylor,i can remember as a young boy taking empty pop bottles from the back of Garfs shop in Yniswen to the front and getting the 2 pence deposit and going down the billiard hall for a game of snooker happy times.
