Dear Listers,
You may be interested to know that thanks to Huw Walters, I have been able
to positively identify the Welsh church referred to in my message of 3rd
May.
The church is the Harris Memorial Chapel adjacent to Trefecca College near
Talgarth, Breconshire. The chapel was demolished some time ago.
I've since found an old postcard image showing the chapel - currently on my
website:
http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/harris-memorial-chapel.jpg
The postcard is on the online database (Coflein) of the Royal Commission on
Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
Huw Walters provided me with a link to page of photos of Trefecca College:
http://freestgeorges.blogspot.co.uk/2009/07/coleg-trefeca.html
On the original photo, the building in front of the church is very
distinctive, and matches exactly the building shown in the sixth image on
the page of photos. The only difference is that the former doorway shown in
my old photo has been replaced by a large window.
Thanks to everyone who tried to identify the church for me.
Kind regards,
John

Subject: Identity of church in old photo
Dear Listers,
I wonder if you could help me identify a Welsh church. The owner of the
photo has just acquired it from a deceased relative and thinks it is
located
somewhere in 'South Wales'.
You can access the image on my website. Go to:
www.jlb2011.co.uk/welsh-church.jpg
I'd be most grateful if anyone can suggest the identity of the church.
Many thanks.
John
