Goat Valley Chapel

Recently I embarked upon a little South Wales roadtrip, as my friend was given a couple of nights stay free in a city centre hotel down there due to a screw up on their part last year.

I have wanted to explore a Welsh chapel for ages, and I had a few on my list but sadly due to a few reasons which I'll go into a little later this was the only successful one, but it is a real good one. We rocked up early on a dull rainy morning, and after a less-than-subtle, very tight and quite noisy entry because of me dropping my friend's bag into the remains of a broken toilet we were in. It took maybe fifteen minutes for it to get light enough to start taking photos, it was a shame it wasn't sunny as it would have been so beautiful to watch the sun come up through the windows.

This particular chapel closed it's doors around the end of 2007. Wales is littered with abandoned chapels, it's amazing how many you can accidentally stumble across whilst looking for something else entirely, but sadly a lot of the time they have a very limited scope for available access points. I was more than satisfied with this example though, it's a bit bashed around but that's to be expected for something abandoned the best part of a decade.

Did you find a pipe room for the organ?

Awesome building mookster! The exterior is beautiful, and the woodwork and curved handrails inside are pretty interesting. I'm surprised that there is no graffiti inside, I'd think that the bent open front gate is pretty inviting.

Nice how you found so many different ways to shoot that room from every available angle - and yet still make a gallery that felt very non-repetitive.
