Description
Bethel Methodist Chapel was first built in 1877 in the Lombardic/ Italian styleof the gable-entry type, by architect Richard Owen of Liverpool. It has round-headed window openings with dripstones and folaite corbels; sash windows with horns and margin panes. The gable facade has a centre doorway under a shallow gabled canopy, a window triplet and occulus over and 4-window return.
The gallery was extended in 1884 to the design of Richard Davies of Bangor and then the interior gutted in the late twentieth century. By 1998 the chapel had been converted for use as a Post Office and SPAR supermarket.
