Glyncorrwg Workmen's Institute and Memorial Hall was opened on 8 May 1926 by Finlay A. Gibson, secretary of the South Wales Coal Owners' Association, and F. M. Witzel, chief secretary of the South Wales and Monmouthshire Joint Committee for Miners' Welfare. It had cost £11,000 to build and was designed by Edgar Evans. The building bears a foundation stone laid on 2 May 1925 by J. Ramsay MacDonald, the then Labour MP for Aberavon and Britain's first Labour Prime Minister. The Institute contained a cinema, billiards room, library and reading room, committee rooms, and public hall. It is now used as a public house called the Glyncorrwg.
