The site of Capel Ebeneser Independent Chapel. A plaque gives the dates as 1873 -1994, as well as an illustration of the chapel itself. Demolition followed in 1996. It had been preceded by an earlier chapel, built in 1840 or 1842 (according to source consulted) on a nearby site at SH 7084 3540. SH 7079 3549. © Howard Richter (2013). Link. An old photo, taken from a booklet Undeb yr Annibynwyr Cymraeg -  Blaenau Ffestiniog a'r cylch 1938, or, in English, "Union of Welsh Independent [churches] - Blaenau Ffestiniog and district 1938", a programme for a convention held in July 1938, it was printed by J.D. Davies of Blaenau, and is now in Howard Richter's Collection.

Capel Sion (Scotch Baptist, 1897 - date-stone). Another view. It may seem odd to find Scotch Baptists here, but Howard has found this reference which says that Merionethshire had another eight such chapels. Here is an interesting article on the movement. SH 708 355. All © Howard Richter (2012).
