Two buildings in Rhymney

[Marylebone2010]

Does anyone have any idea where either of these buildings in Rhymney might have stood?

One is Jerusalem House, where my grandfather was born in 1877.

The other is somewhere called The Cyclops, where my great grandfather died in 1891. The latter sounds like a pub! But he was a Baptist minister so that seems a bit unlikely.

There is a Jerusalem Chapel (baptist) Rhymney erected 1841, maybe the house was connected with the chapel.  Maybe his father was a baptist minister too and lived at the house.

If you google "the cyclops rhymney monmouthshire" you will see references to The Cyclops Inn Rhymney and the innkeeper William Scott in the London and Edinburgh Gazettes, so it was a pub.

Brilliant. Thanks so much.

A quick search on welsh newspapers online has found a couple of references to Jerusalem House, Rhymney from WWI, connected to a Rev T E Williams and family

Thanks very much Mabel and all.  I now feel pretty confident that Jerusalem House was indeed connected with my Rhymney Baptist minister great grandfather, Taliesin, making it entirely sensible that his youngest son, my grandfather, was born there in 1877.

It also seems feasible that after the bankruptcy of its innkeeper, the Cyclops was turned into a private dwelling towards the end of the century. That also fits well with facts I do know. Quite possibly the Taliesin's eldest son, a local iron & steel works manager, lived there briefly and that was why his father died there (with him in attendance).

If anyone turns up anything else of interest that would sill be welcome too of course.
