More about this scene

The Bethesda Baptist Chapel is seen in all its glory on the right. This site at the foot of Barn Street was purchased in 1789 for £200 and by September of that year a chapel costing £308 6s was complete. It was rebuilt in 1816 but damaged in a gas explosion in 1842. Work on the present chapel was completed in 1880 at a cost of £2,199. Note the 'I. Roberts, Merchant' sign on the left (now a house) and the advertising hoarding for Singer sewing machines on the building beyond the junction (now replaced).

Best Friend

My best friend Glenda Prior lived in the Gloster Arms with her mum and dad, this would have been in the 1970s. I have so many happy memories of our time together, practicing the "Greaser " dance in the snug ! So sad to hear that it has closed .Memories live on when the building is closed.

The Gloster Arms

I was largely brought up in Mariner's Square. Directly opposite the Mariner's Hotel (the building with the portico) was a pub called the Gloster Arms. At the time this picture was taken it was run by my great grandmother and later by her daughter, my grandmother. My father and his brother lived there until they both married in the 1950's.
