Title: Bethany Baptist Church, Brynmenyn
Post by: toby webb on Wednesday 19 August 09 16:44 BST (UK)
 I am helping a dear lady to recall some happy days and  I would like to get a digital shot of this chapel. If anyone can oblige, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks, Toby.

I have not had any luck so far but today I found something which may be what I am looking for.
Is anyone able to confirm that the chapel concerned was in Bryn Road? I can only see one chapel on the O.S. map which seems to be in the Bryn Road area so it may be. A brochure on the web is offering a converted chapel in Bryn Road and there are photographs. Can anyone confirm this is my lucky day?
Thanks, Toby.

Hi,  I've just looked at the advert you mention for the converted chapel in Bryn Road, that is the one opposite the Fox and Hounds pub.  There is another smaller chapel a few hundred yards away, also on Bryn Road near Penybryn Hill, sorry I don't know which is Bethany Baptist Church, just hope my description of the sites may help you.

Thanks Mags23. Useful to know that there is another candidate.
I looked at a 25inch OS map yesterday and both the first & second editions label the converted chapel as The Independent Chapel. So it may not be what I am looking for.
Thanks for your help.
Toby.

I live near Bryn road, I could take a photo of the chapel which is opposite the Fox and Hounds pub, however it is now converted into a house. the gravestones are still in the grounds. I see this was an old posting but let me know if I can help.
