We were sorry to hear that, owing to rising costs and a declining congregation, the Welsh Chapel at the bottom of Heathfield Road is proposed for demolition this summer, to make way for a new (and smaller) chapel on part of the site. The Minister, Rev. Dr D. Ben Rees - who spoke to us about the long history of the Welsh in Liverpool at a meeting last year - is producing a photographic souvenir of the old buildings, and is inviting people to order copies at the special pre-publication price of £10.
Cheques, payable to 'Eglwys Bethel', should be sent to him at 32 Garth Drive, Liverpool L18 6HW. The names of those who subscribe before 31st May 2003 will be printed in the book.
