Does anyone know Clydach well? COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 13 December 05 01:23 GMT (UK) »
I have a photo of a small church/chapel in Clydach, near Swansea, where my late husband's grandmother was buried in a pauper's grave. :'(  Unfortunately the kind, elderly, people who provided the photo are not literate and do not live locally, so I cannot embarrass them by asking for the name of the church.  :-[
The building does not have a spire but has a small belltower and two small turrets on the roadside fascia, and the door appears to be red?  In the background there appears to be a modern shop/warehouse-type structure and in the foreground there are numerous standing gravestones, some of which appear strikingly white.  The church is fronted by a long stone wall and the road has a kerbed, tarmac footpath, and parking restrictions, but I cannot tell if it is a single or double yellow line.
If anyone recognizes this description, I should be delighted to hear.  :)

Hi Dee-jay

Have you tried searching for images of Clydach on Google or similar search engine?

There are pictures of several churches, but you could compare with your photo.

I would normally recommend find-a-church , but there isn't a picture in this case.

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Thanks for your interest, Arranroots.  Yes, I tried to 'Google' this one and came up with 3 Clydachs but no churches. :-\

Try Google Images - there are several churches (one white chapel, a red chapel or church and a b/w photo of St Mary's plus several interiors)

Maybe try Alta Vista or another alternative?
