Silverwood Miners Welfare was opened on May 5th 1924 and was just a small building for Silverwood Colliery meetings.

In later years the Welfare was built as a recreational establishment for miners and their families which was opened on February 22nd 1959 by the president of the club, Mr Fred Green and Mr Alan Wilde who was a Trustee of the welfare.

Most people called the welfare the 'Baggin' which was named after a tool used at the pit.  It is still called 'The Baggin' today by local people.

The Bar is open every evening and Saturday and Sunday lunch times.

The Resource Centre is open every day from Monday to Friday for businesses wishing to hire the rooms for conferences/meetings etc.
