Tin chapel in Trebanog
Viewed across the A4233 Trebanog Road. Corrugated metal places of worship are sometimes referred to as tin chapels, though this one is corrugated iron. Many similar chapels have been replaced, but this 1881 example has survived into 2014 (viewed in late July). The name board shows Carmel English Congregational Church. The 'English' part of the name states the language of worship, to distinguish the church from those where Welsh is (or was) used. The bottom line of the nameboard shows
REMEMBERING MOUNT ZION ENGLISH BAPTIST CHURCH 1923-2009.
Mount Zion was a similar tin chapel further south along Trebanog Road. It appears in a Google Earth Street View taken in June 2011, but had been demolished and replaced by a house Link at the late July 2014 date of this view.
