Can anyone tell me where this chapel is? Guess it was 1880's - 1900

I wondered if it was in Anglesey as my grandfather was a preacher there

Looks like something I've seen as a Quaker house - somewhere??

That may be a strong pointer, but its appearance doesn't remind me of Anglesey - the rounded corners of the building, for instance.  Is any detail visible over the door, or in the look of the men?

Have you tried to take the photo out of its frame, to see if there is any writing on the back of the photo?

He was a congregationalist but it is interesting that someone mentioned a quaker chapel as on of my great aunts was a quaker - the only one in the family. No writing on the back or inscriptions I can read. I know it is nothing like the Anglesey houses but the house to the left is similar.

I have just had a thought after really looking at the dress of the men in the photo. My great grandfather was a calvanistic methodist minister and having looked on the internet some of these chapels did have rounded portions. The brick facing is so unusual and I have never been able to find out any more about it - somewhere there must be a record of it. There was a quarry in Penmon that had stone like this and there could be a connection
