Still the same although the area around it is changing fast. A new bypass through Bargoed, no coal tip and plans to redevelope the town centre.

Hi,
The Top Hat Club was what the locals called the New Club as it was a private members club for gentlemen and, at the time that my grandmotherwas the stewardess there in the 30's - was frequented mainly by local businessmen and professionals. It is in Gilfach Street - number 4 I think. Looks just like a private house from the outside. My uncle says it was opposite the fire station. I have an old photo of the bar area and a photo of my grandmother surrounded by members of the committee that ran the club.

Does anyone have any other information about the club during the 30's and 40's ?

Any chance you could post the photo; maybe viewers could help identify the committee members.
