A rear view of Ebenezer Chapel and vestry
Locally, this Congregational chapel built in 1823, is known as Capal Eban. Ebenezer became the name of the village which grew around it. It was only in 1922 that the name Deiniolen was coined. An older local name for the village, and one still very much in use, is Llanbabo, as many of the first inhabitants originated from Llanbabo in Anglesey. Deiniolen people are often referred to as "Llanbabs".

Capal Eban
Known officially as Capel Ebenezer/Ebeneser, this former congregational chapel, now an united church, is known in the village simply as Capal Eban. The photo shows both the vestry (on the left) and the main chapel (on the right). Until the adoption of the name Deiniolen in 1922 the village was also known officially as Ebenezer, though colloquially the name Llanbabo was in use.

The cleared site of the old Hanroy Cinema
The site has been cleared for redevelopment. After its closure the old cinema had been converted into a glazier's workshop. That company has now moved its base to Caernarfon.

Ysgol Gwaen Gynfi, Deiniolen
This was my first Alma Mater. In those days it was known as Ysgol Ganol Deiniolen Central School. Until the 1960s the Anglicans had their own school near Llandinorwig Church. I recall one memorable dinner hour when practically the whole of the school marched up the hill to lay siege to the Anglican school over some perceived or imagined insult. This was a continuation of a tradition which had gone on for generations.

The Old Hanroy Cinema, Deiniolen
Now a glaziers' workshop, this building was the village cinema between 1952 and the coming of television (snowy pictures from the Holme Moss transmitter) around 1959. The roof was of corrugated iron and a shower of rain would effectively drown out the film, not that it was easy to hear much over the riot that would be going on inside. I spent hours here watching such films as 'Abbot and Costello Meet the Ghosts' and 'The Mario Lanza Story'.
