The building on John Street occupies the site of the former Ebenezer Wesleyan Chapel.
Ebenezer Methodist Chapel was built in 1824 and altered/rebuilt in 1856, before closing in about 1920. The chapel was Simple Round-Headed in style and of the gable entry type. In 1995 the building was demolished to make way for a Job Centre. The burial ground remains to the north, with iron railings by Isaac Williams & Son and some interesting tombs. https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/6248/

Sign for the Coracle Tavern
Coracles are small, keel-less boats, traditionally made as a basketwork frame, covered with an animal hide. In Wales they are now skinned with calico which is waterproofed using a bitumastic paint.

Stalls in the new market
The new covered market has a rather clinical aspect and lacks the character and spaciousness of the old one. The ceiling is low and there is a uniformity about the stalls which means it is a much less interesting place to shop. Although many of the traders are the same, a number of the more unusual ones seem to have gone.
