Staff at Fagans National History Museum want to hear readers’ memories of Oakdale Workmen’s Institute, which was moved to the museum in 1989.
A special event is being held at at Oakdale Community Centre, Oakdale from 2pm on Wednesday, May 18.
The museum is looking for new stories and photographs relating to the building up to the time it was moved.
Did you play snooker or billiards there? Maybe you went to one of the many gigs at the Institute during the 1980s or were a member of the amateur dramatic group? Whatever the story, the museum would like to hear from anyone who can tell them something about the iconic building.
The Workmen’s Institute was built in Oakdale in 1917 from funds raised by the workers and became central to community life in the village until it was moved to St Fagans.
The building is visited by around 500,000 people each year.
The project is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant.
