There was a time, decades ago, when prefabricated corrugated-metal churches ("tin churches") were a common sight in many parts of the UK. Many have now been replaced by more modern buildings, but in Pontypool, two remain in use within about a kilometre of each other. This one, on Victoria Road, is St Matthew's Church, Pontymoile, a Church in Wales church, diocese of Monmouth. The other one is Race Methodist Church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2452335 in Upper Race.
