Cradley Heath Workers' Institute, Social center building in Tipton, England
The Cradley Heath Workers' Institute features exposed brickwork, projected gables, leaded windows, and green tiled signage following Arts and Crafts architectural design principles.
Built between 1911 and 1912 with funds from the Women Chainmakers' Strike, the institute initially served as a venue for educational meetings and union offices.
The institute represents the industrial heritage of the Black Country, preserving the memory of labor movements and community organization in early 20th century England.
Located at the Black Country Living Museum since 2006, the institute includes period offices, an exhibition about Mary Macarthur, and a cafe in the former auditorium.
The building was dismantled from its original location and reconstructed at the museum through a £1.5 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant and community support.
