Pisgah Chapel near Loughor

Pisgah is a historic chapel where Evan Roberts first began preaching at the start of the Welsh Revival. It has attracted visitors from all over the world. The huge tie bars in the picture hint that the building is in need of renovation. Indeed it is now claimed that it is too costly to maintain. Planning permission has been sought to demolish it and build dwellings in its place.
