A glimpse of bygone days Bethel Baptist Chapel was built in 1842 but is now disused and falling into disrepair.  This photograph was taken through a chink in a broken window.  A scaffolding pole is fastened just inside the window and fallen plaster lies among the pews. The gallery, such a common feature of Welsh chapels of this period, is clearly visible.  In such a remote spot were these pews ever full?  Perhaps for weddings and funerals in days gone by.
