Redhills was designed by H. T. Gradon in Edwardian Baroque style and opened in 1915 to replace the former Miners' Hall building in North Road. Its debating chamber was known as the "Pitman's Parliament".

In March 2020 the National Lottery Heritage Fund awarded £4m for restoration and renovation work, with the aim of restoring Redhills as a community and arts centre.[1]
