The curious and unexpected Bethany chapel in Colwyn Avenue was built in the 1950s in a very utilitarian style. It adjoins the Spar store, which has an exceptionally ornate front completely at odds with the plain rear - suggesting that this was originally a cinema. However, according to the Llandrillo-yn-Rhos Conservation Area Appraisal (2007) published by Conwy County Borough Council, this ornate building was the meeting hall of the English Congregational Church. Both are difficult subjects, needing early morning light to avoid deep shadows.
