The Cradley Heath Workers' Institute was a social institute built between 1911 and 1912 in Lomey Town.[1] It was funded using moneys left over from the a chainmakers Cradley Heath strike fund. Between 1915 and 1933 it largely functioned as a cinema.[1] It was then used as a snooker until 1950 after which it became post office sorting office until 1995.[1] It was moved to the black country living museum in 2006 after a bypass threatened the site.[1]
