Viewed across Port Tennant Road. A cross remains as part of the structure of the large window above the entrance, but there was no name on the building at the November 2013 date of this view. The following notes are based on details in the Archives Network Wales. The Forward Movement was the response of Calvinistic Methodists to a perceived loss of empathy with the poor in the late 19th century. Port Tennant Road Forward Movement Hall was established in 1895 at 181 Port Tennant Road in the St Thomas area of Swansea. During the Second World War, the chapel was destroyed during a bombing raid, and it appears that services were held at Burrows Forward Movement Hall until the premises were moved temporarily to Wern Terrace, Port Tennant. The chapel was rebuilt here in another part of Port Tennant Road in the 1950s. The archives do not state when this building was last used for worship. The latest year for which archives are held for the church is 1988.
