Original location Dre-fach Felindre, Carmarthenshire
Built 1777
Date opened to the public 1956
Pen-rhiw Unitarian Chapel was located in an area known as 'Y Smotyn Du', the black spot, by other Christian groups who disagreed with the beliefs of the Unitarians.
By 1851 there were 27 Unitarian chapels in Wales.
The chapel is believed to have been built as a barn and was acquired by the Unitarians in 1777. It is unadorned and simple in construction, and in some ways still resembles a barn rather than a place of worship.
In 1870 a gallery was added so more people could worship in the chapel.
Famous Unitarians include Louisa May Alcott, the author of 'Little Women', Edvard Grieg the Noregian composer and Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web.

Ok, there are signs up specifically stating 'No Photography', but I asked nicely and promised not to take any photographs of the © interpretation panels... And I like to think that by allowing a few sensible photos to be taken, it'll encourage more visitors: in fact, I do heartily encourage you to visit. It's great (and free!) - but in a most unexpected way.
This is the access tunnel to the cave - built in 1969 when the enlightened council of the time thought that a natural wooded glen at the heart of Dunfermline was not what the town needed... What it needed was another car park - so, the glen was filled in and concreted over. After a fairly vociferous campaign, this access tunnel was included as part of the works to maintain access to St Margaret's Cave, which had been a place of pilgrimage pretty much since the 13th century when Queen Margaret was canonised. I actually found the access tunnel to be the most interesting part - unexpectedly long and deep, but with some really good interpretative material, and a rather fetching Anderson Shelter aesthetic.
So, as I say, go visit - it's free and has plentiful on-site car parking...
If you walk down George Street or Rose Street on any given night you will likely be accosted by a number of young men and women handing out entry coupons for the city's struggling nightclubs. While these individuals are less pushy than the charity collectors who accost you on Prince Street during the day, they are nonetheless a nuisance. After all, who really wants to spend their night in Mad Dogs or El Barrio? Shot at ISO 1600 and processed using GIMP and Noiseware Pro (trial).
Originally located at Llandeilo Tal-y-bont, near Pontarddulais, Swansea (Glamorgan) over 40 miles west of St Fagans National Museum of History
Built late 1200s-1500s
Dismantled and moved to St Fagans 1984-5
Re-erected 2007
The interior of this church is as it would have been in 1530, just before Henry VIII broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, and containing all the elements of a late medieval Catholic church.
When Museum staff were dismantling the church, they found traces of wall paintings hidden under centuries of plaster. These have now been recreated.
Step inside, and you will be transported back to a time when colourful paintings of Biblical scenes covered the walls.
Look up at the 'A' frame trusses, with their mortise and tenon joints. They support 45 tonnes of sandstone tiles!
Probably the oldest surviving feature of the church is the stone font, believed to date from at least the 13th century.

Stainless steel gates to commemorate the Royal Wedding of 1981 of Charles & Diana, i don't know who all the names are, but there is hundred's of them, each in an individual banner,( some of them are empty ) across the whole wall. I cramped the ISO up quite a lot and was surprised that i didn't get a lot of noise on the photograph's and was really pleased when i opened them up on the Computer. Try and view this on a tablet or smart-phone then you can open it right out and read the individual banner's clearer
Cliffe Castle was originally the home of Victorian millionaire and textile manufacturer Henry Isaac Butterfield. Completed in the 1880s the building was funded by the Butterfield family's industrial empire which included wool textile mills and a shipping business that took British goods to Europe, America and China.
The completed house was a showcase of international art and French decoration. It was the scene of many glittering social events. Butterfield family connections included the Roosevelts of America and members of the court of Napoleon III.
In the 1950s the Castle was bought by Sir Bracewell Smith, a local man who became Lord Mayor of London. Sir Bracewell used architect Sir Albert Richardson to turn Cliffe Castle's gardens into a grand public park and remodelled the Castle to be a free museum for the people of the district.
In recent years Cliffe Castle has undergone a major restoration. Visitors can see sparkling Victorian rooms and furniture, paintings and decorative art. Special galleries deal with natural history, archaeology and social history, all of which can be seen along with the internationally important display of stained glass by Morris & Co. The Castle also hosts changing exhibitions from its collections and the community. Family areas ensure there is something for all ages.

Here's more from my flying visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum a couple of weeks back. Only a few things are labelled. I wasn't taking notes. The place was shutting in an hour so I had to push on. Because of the low lighting, most pictures are taken at ISO 1600, between 1/15th and 1/10th sec exposure - hand held, of course, so excuse the noise and the occasional camera shake!
