I've walked past it LOADS of times because it's just down the street from me. Finally went in and took lots of pics! I went in with another member, Dirge! Enjoy.
Calfaria was established in 1881 in Llanelli, Wales. The original, smaller chapel next door was built in 1882 and was later accompanied by a bigger chapel just 7 years later. It was designed by George Morgan of Carmarthen.
Anyway, on to photos. A few exterior shots first. There's actually two buildings, a smaller red one (think it was a Sunday school) and the bigger, main one.
Into the smaller one first. It's more of a large storage space than anything. Lot of chairs and stuff. Loads of computer equipment, for some reason.
One interesting thing was the 2 pianos, back to back. Here's one of them.
There was loads of pigeon crap all over the floor, too. More on that later...
Now onto the main bit. The big church.
As I already said, the floor was COVERED with pigeon crap and other stuff. Quite a bit of glass too. Oh and dead pigeons, dead pigeons EVERYWHERE.
Found the stairs, but they didn't look safe at all.
Not to worry though, there was a perfectly good set of stairs on the other side!
Yeah I don't think I want to be sitting on that...
Some ground floor shots of the organ now. Shame it's so trashed.
I have loads of pics but these seemed like the best ones to upload for the report. Thanks for viewing, cheers!
