The Broad Street shop is a Premier convenience store in September 2015. A September 2010 Google Earth Street View shows a Spar store here. Wikipedia states that Premier stores are a symbol chain of independent convenience stores. The Premier name is owned by Booker Group. Each store is owned by one or more individuals who agree to a minimum spend each week with Booker Wholesale in exchange for business support and access to the branding.

Appearing on the 1901 OS map, this late 19th century building was formerly the gentlemen's outfitting department of Fowler's departmental store, which closed in 1975. The late 20th century shop front was inserted within the framework of original for a Spar shop. The Premier store replaced the Spar sometime between September 2010 and September 2015.

Grade II Listed as Blaenavon Evangelical Church (Moriah Chapel) built in 1888. Given its proximity to the English border, there was a large proportion of the inhabitants of Blaenavon who spoke only English. The English speaking Baptists built their own church in Broad Street in 1844. It was extensively rebuilt with a more typically classical facade in 1888. Broad Street Church declined in membership and in the 1960s it ceased to be Baptist and became Moriah Evangelical Church. In 2019 the building became the home of Victory Church, Blaenavon an independent Pentecostal church run by Pastors Nick and Suzanne Walters. A school room was added to rear of church apparently before the rebuild as it seems to be present in 1882. The school room was to become Hawkins’ Corn Stores but that ceased trading in January 2018. Planning for conversion of the school room to a warehouse was approved in November 2018. The Grade II Listing of the school room is just a copy of the chapel listing.
