This view of the church on Blaendare Road, Upper Race, was taken in June 2011, one hundred years after the prefabricated building opened for worship here in June 1911. The project was paid for with money donated by local people. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2452353 to a side view. There was a time, decades ago, when prefabricated corrugated-metal churches ("tin churches"), such as this one, 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 Many have now been replaced by more modern buildings, but in Pontypool, two remain in use within about a kilometre of each other. The other one is St Matthew's Church, Pontymoile. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2451844
