Old workmen's hall for sale to be turned into flats

A rare opportunity has cropped up for someone to own an old workmen's hall for just over £200,000.

The historic hall located in Church Street in Abertridwr, Caerphilly, was originally built as workmen's institute and library in 1910.

For many years it was a community hub holding concerts and musical events as a showcase for local talent in front of packed audiences. In 1938 part of the hall also became a cinema.

However gradually over the following decades the facility deteriorated before it later became a bingo hall with the library turning into a boxing gym.

Complete with original stone frontage, the hall is currently on sale for £210,000 and has planning permission to be turned into 12 two-bedroom flats.
