Dear Listers   http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/8251128.stm   This which I have just come across sounds very interesting if anyone is near enough to visit the Carmarthenshire Museum in the old Bishops Palace, Abergwili   [the following are the online photo headings] 1.       A photographic exhibition charting the story of Welsh chapels is being held at Carmarthenshire County Museum this month. 2.    The exhibition is a collaborative venture by two Open University tutors, arts tutor and photographer Phil Sky of Penarth, and social scientist and former chair of the Carmarthenshire Antiquarians, Roy Davies of Llandeilo. 3.    The result is a series of framed photographic images; a slide show with commentary; and an essay "Calfaria is Closed", in reference to Calfaria Baptist Chapel, In Ann Street, Llanelli, which has an uncertain future. 4.    By the end of World War I there were nearly 5,000 chapels in Wales with 150 built in the Rhondda Valley alone. Many have fallen into disrepair or converted for other uses. 5.    Mr Sky said during the project he came across chapels that had been turned into homes, restaurants, shops and pubs and even nightclubs. 6.    The tutors say chapel buildings in both old and new guises tell the story of how Wales was and the country it has become 7.    Mr Sky said: "I have tried to be neither sentimental nor celebratory. Many of the images that signal change are hard to like. " 8.   The exhibition is running at the museum in Abergwili on the outskirts of Carmarthen from September 12th to October 31.
