In 1878 two young evangelists arrived in Merthyr Tydfil for the purpose of establishing a branch of a new religious organisation known as the Christian Mission. The organisation was later renamed the Salvation Army. In the early years, various premises were used. The Salvation Army's current citadel in Glebeland Place, shown here, opened in 1937 and has since been extensively modernised.
