Bedwas Navigation Workmen's Hall and Insititute was opened on 8 December 1923 by Sir Samuel Instone, owner of the colliery. The Institute cost £20,000 to construct, this sum was partly met through a grant of £1,500 from the Miners' Welfare Fund, £8,000 fundraised by the workmen themselves, and a mortgage of £10,000 raised by the Institute Committee and guaranteed by Instone. Designed by the Cardiff architect George Kenshole and built by T. F. Howells of Caerphilly, it contained a cinema and hall with a 1,000 person seating capacity as well as a library, reading rooms, billiards hall, and committee rooms. The building remains in use today as a community venue.
