Bethel Chapel, Trecynon
This was Bethel
(Welsh Congregational) in August 2003. Three months later it was demolished;
in its place now stands a new detached house. Just next to the corrugated
iron garage there is a gateway. It was through here that we entered
to reach the vestry/schoolroom at the rear. It was used for assemblies
and music lessons in the 1960s. Leading off from the vestry was a staircase
to a first floor set of rooms where Marie Howells held her lessons for
stringed instrument players.

Carmel Chapel, Trecynon
This is a picture*
of Carmel (Calvinistic Methodist) Chapel in Hirwaun Road. It was situated
almost exactly opposite and to the rear of the Gym and Physics Laboratory.
It was the first of the C.M. chapels in Aberdare. This rebuilt structure
was completed in 1896 (a year after the school was built), by the builder
J. Morgan - possibly the same man who built School House. The chapel
was demolished in 1989 and in its place now stands a brand new building
called The Brethren Meeting Room.
