On the corner of Station Road and Murray Street. The large name tablet in the pediment shows the year 1858. Llanelli by the mid 1850s was developing both industrially and as a thriving port. There had been an influx of English-speaking families, mainly from the west of England, looking for work in the town's iron, steel and shipping industries. This church was built to meet their wishes to worship in English in a town where existing chapels held services in Welsh.
