Carmarthen Cemetery Chapel

Carmarthen Cemetery Chapel is a cemetery chapel in the town of Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, Wales. The building dates from 1855 and is located at 6, Russell Terrace, Carmarthen. It was proposed in 1853 that two chapels should be built for the cemetery in Russell Terrace, Carmarthen, one for the burial of Anglicans and the other for Nonconformists. Tenders were received from three persons, James Wilson, R.K. Penson and W.W. Jenkins. At first Penson's bid was chosen, but after reconsideration, it was rejected and Jenkins received the contract. The two chapels were built as well as walls and entrance gates. Each chapel building was built of rubble stone, with ashlar dressings, and gabled roofs of slate and simple interiors. Bishop Thirlwall performed the opening ceremony in 1856, and afterwards the churchyard of St Peter's Church was closed to new burials. Since then, one of the chapels has been demolished, and the entrance gates have also gone. The chapel was designated as a Grade II listed building on 19 May 1981, being an example of a fine "mid C19 cemetery chapel in Gothic style". References

It is similar to the Presbyterian church they built in Brecon in 1872. The English Congregational Church is rendered more conspicuous by being set at an angle to the street. It is built of rock-faced stone with Bath stone features and is in an exaggeratedly Gothic style. There are a lot of strange angles and junctions, a steep gable end with a tall window, a tower with spiral stair and a slender spire on an open bell platform. There are other strange features and by contrast, the interior is quite plain, with arch-braced roof trusses, and an organ recess with a pointed apse. The pulpit is polygonal and the single gallery has a front made from diagonally arranged boarding. The church was designated as a Grade II listed building on 19 May 1981, being "a remarkably confident example of Gothic chapel architecture".

Hall Street Methodist Church, Llanelli

Hall Street Methodist and United Reformed Church is a local ecumenical partnership of two denominations in the original Methodist chapel in the town of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales. The present building was built in 1856 and is located in Hall Street. The chapel was designated as a Grade II listed building on 3 December 1992. The chapel The first chapel here was built in 1838 but was already too small for the congregation two decades later, and so it was rebuilt in 1856. The new building was erected at a time when Llanelli became a significant regional producer of tinplate and steel and the population was growing strongly. The architect was James Wilson of Bath and the chapel is similar in design to his New King Street Chapel, Bath which had been built in 1847. Both buildings have large gabled facades with traceried windows, and in 1870, Hall Street Methodist Church was made more ecclesiastical by the inclusion of a chancel, transepts and the base of a tower. An upper stage of the tower and a spire was added by W. Griffiths in 1896 with Gothic-style pierced parapets. Inside the chapel had a large open space and an Anglican-like apse separated by a low barrier screen. The chapel was designated as a Grade II listed building on 3 December 1992, the reason for listing being that it is an "elaborate Gothic chapel by the architect said to have led the Wesleyan church into the path of the Gothic Revival".

St Teilo's Church, Llandeilo

It was designated as a Grade II listed building on 14 March 1966 The church This large church is located in Church Street where it is conspicuous, with a very large churchyard. As a Christian centre, Llandeilo dates back to the sixth century. Very little is known about Saint Teilo, to whom the church is dedicated, but he seems to have travelled around Wales because there are several other churches dedicated to him in other places. He is believed to have made Llandeilo his main base and be buried there, although Llandaff Cathedral has disputed this. There is a legend that after his death, his body was placed in Llandeilo church and three clergy from different churches prayed that he could be buried in their churches (Llandeilo, Llandaff and his birthplace Penally). In the morning, three bodies were miraculously found, so that an authentic body could be buried at each church. The church was designated as a Grade II listed building on 14 March 1966, being listed because it is a fine example of a church of its period, and has historic associations.

Smarts Quarry

Smarts Quarry is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated in 1987 for its geological features. SSSI Smarts Quarry SSSI is located approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east-north-east of Mynydd-y-Garreg, and covers 2.6 hectares (6.4 acres). The SSSI citation for Smart Quarry specifies the importance of "abundant, bivalve produced, stellate feeding traces on a bedding surface" within the Namurian quartzite of the quarry. The citation finds such traces unique within the Namurian basal grits of South Wales and suggestive of an estuarine rather than a shoreline sedimentary deposition of the quarry stone.

University Hospital Llandough

University Hospital Llandough (Welsh: Ysbyty Athrofaol Llandochau) is a district general hospital in Llandough, Penarth, Wales. It is managed by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. History In the first decade the 20th century the Cardiff Board of Guardians realised that the existing accommodation for the sick at the City Lodge was inadequate and waiting lists for admission there had been in excess of 2000 patients at any one time. In order to relieve pressure on the existing hospitals, in 1912 a 48-acre (19 ha) site at Llandough was purchased with a view to building a new hospital there. The First World War and the death of the original architect intended for the project caused significant delays in its planning, but progress had been made by the mid-1920s after a public enquiry for the provision of the hospital. The design involved a pavilion layout which was common of hospitals of the time. Construction of the hospital began in 1928, with Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood laying the foundation stone, and was completed in 1933. This design had the five original wards being set perpendicular to a long, central corridor, with an administrative block at its centre. This had the benefit of the wards being away from the noise of the kitchens and boiler houses, while also allowing for easy expansion of the hospital in subsequent decades. Each ward was built with a large solarium at its south end to allow patients exposure to the sun and fresh air when the windows were open, which at the time was believed to be an integral part of a patient's rehabilitation. A commemorative leaflet published shortly after the hospital opened outlined the use of modern technology in the hospital's design. Of note is the mention of a lamp system for silently communicating between members of staff throughout the hospital without disturbing patients. The high incidence of disease in the South Wales mining valleys, particularly in the anthracite mines, caused the Medical Research Council to establish a pneumoconiosis unit at the hospital to research these issues in 1945. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and expanded significantly in the subsequent decades, with more wards being built in several phases of construction. The main hospital corridor has expanded to a length of over half a kilometre on the first floor as a result. The hospital was renamed the University Hospital Llandough in 2008 to reflect its links with the Cardiff University School of Medicine. Inpatient adult mental health services were transferred to Llandough in 2016 with the opening of the Hafan y Coed unit. Services were transferred here from Whitchurch Hospital which closed its doors in the same year. The hospital is home to the Rookwood Sound radio station after it was transferred there from Rookwood Hospital in 2012. References External links Official website
