Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire A useful list of
Pembroke Dock's churches. Churches at Llanion. Pennar Community Church was, until the closure of Gilgal (see below), known as Bethany Baptist Chapel. On High Street, it was built in 1818, and re-built 1877. Two interior views - 1, 2. SM 963 029. All © Mike Berrell. Bethel Baptist Church, on Bush St. Three interior views - 1, 2, 3. SM 966 032. Mike Berrell wrote in 2009 - "Opened June 1845 but in November 1872 a terrible gale stripped a part of the roof rendering the building unsafe. The present chapel was opened in February 1875. However, massive repairs are now needed and the chapel cannot be used. The congregation meets in a room at the rear. Cadw and the local Council are insisting the lantern be preserved but it is pushing down on the roof." All © Mike Berrell. Dockyard Chapel (1834) on Meyrick Owen Way and Admiralty Way. Now in secular use. SM 962 035. © Mike Berrell. Link. The former Gershom Chapel on Queen Street. Calvinistic Methodist from 1838, then Primitive Methodist from 1866, it is now in commercial use.
