A bit of History
The Miners’ Welfare Hall was erected in 1924 by the Garforth Miners’ Welfare Institute, It was funded by a grant from the Central Miners’ Welfare Committee and the weekly subscriptions of the local miners. The miners worked at the Isabella, Sisters, and Trench collieries, which were owned at that time by the Gascoigne family.
