From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ebenezer Chapel, Aberavon (more correctly, "Ebenezer Baptist Church"), is a Baptist church in Port Talbot, Wales.[1] Built in 1881,[2] it is located in the Civic Square, where it is the only surviving building from the old Port Talbot town centre to have survived the wholesale demolition that preceded the construction of a new town centre during the mid-1970s;[3] the address was formerly "Talbot Street". It has been a listed building since 1980.[4]

The building was designed in a "scarce Romanesque style" by George Morgan of Carmarthen, a noted architect of Baptist chapels,[5] and was built on the site of an earlier chapel, dating from 1836.[4]
Services at the church have traditionally been conducted in the Welsh language but both Welsh and English are used.[2] Located close to the civic centre, it is used by the local authority, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, for an annual carol service and other occasional events.[6]
