Former Penmain chapel, Penmaen
Located on the east side of Oakdale Terrace, the former Penmain chapel has been the practice rooms of Mynyddislwyn Male Choir since 1992. Their name appears on the entrance gates. The spelling Penmain is an Anglicised form of Penmaen.
The tablet above the front windows shows (in Welsh) that the chapel was built in 1694, rebuilt in 1829 and renovated in 1888. The top line of the tablet is 1639_40, perhaps indicating when construction of the chapel began, in which case the Welsh "adeiladwyd 1694", literally "was built in 1694" should be understood to mean "was completed in 1694"
