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.

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'.

Rhosllannerchrugog village sign
This is one of several "colliery" community signs that have been commissioned to commemorate the North East Wales coalfield. The communities of Johnstown, Pant, Ponciau & Rhosllannerchrugog were all involved with the many collieries nearby.
