Rhosllanerchrugog
This depiction of a colliery headstock wheel is a reminder that Rhosllanerchrugog and the associated settlements of Johnstown, Pant and Ponciau were coal mining villages. The last local colliery, Bersham, closed in 1986. The plaque to the right commemorates Tom Jones, 'trade Unionist, Socialist and Spanish Republican volunteer'.

Converted chapel in Johnstown
Currently being sold by Asteris Homes. Apparently this development is the winner of the Civic Society Renovation Award for 2008. Assuming I've got the right chapel, it was originally called Seilo Chapel. Seilo probably refers to the ancient city of Shiloh, once the religious capital of Israel.

Mount Pleasant English Baptist Chapel, Ponciau
This chapel was built in 1891 to the design of architect J.G. Owen. It is evidently still going strong. Rhosllanerchrugog and the adjacent villages had (and still have) an unusually high proportion of Welsh speakers for this part of Wales so with services in other chapels conducted in Welsh no doubt there would have been a need for an English chapel to cater for the English speaking members of the community.
