Ebenezer chapel Borth-y-Gest
One has to assume that this is no longer used as a place of worship as there are no chapel signs or noticeboards, whilst the OS map extract on the geograph website no longer shows a chapel here. It is still shown as such on my old 1996 edition 1:25000 map of the area.

Twenty years on!
See: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5409 posted in April 2005 (taken in August 1999). My very first Geograph submission, a few weeks after the launch (and already over 5,000 photos posted). There are a lot of changes in a place that seems not to change at all! Houses rebuilt, houses extended, trees grown, trees disappeared, and more. Note the change in vegetation over a few months difference (March to August).
Thanks to Geograph for inspiring twenty years of exploration of the UK.

Borth-y-Gest
Borth-y-Gest lies 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south of Porthmadog. Ships were built here before Porthmadog was established. This was also the starting point of a major crossing over the wide and dangerous Glaslyn estuary, and locals earned money by guiding travellers across the treacherous sands of Traeth Mawr to Harlech.

Southerly gale
It is not often that the little harbour at Borth y Gest gets as rough as this.
