In a mainly Welsh-speaking town, the first English language Congregational Church in Llanelli was built in 1839 in Park Street. When the need arose to enlarge and modernise the church building, the original intent was to rebuild on the Park Street site. This proved to be unworkable, so a new site was found, here on the corner of Inkerman Street and Murray Street. The church in view, retaining the name of its predecessor, opened in October 1865. From 1972 the church was part of the United Reformed Church. At the April 2012 date of this view, there were no name signs to be seen, and the building appeared derelict.
