It was built in 1840 and is located on Copperworks Road. It had a larger seating capacity than most Llanelli chapels and in 1905 could seat 850 persons. The chapelBethel Baptist Chapel was the first of a series of Baptist churches erected in Llanelli in the mid nineteenth century. This was a time when Llanelli became a significant regional producer of tinplate and steel and the population was growing strongly. The chapel has a large stuccoed temple-like facade with giant pilasters and a porch with columns and a balustrade. The windows had Florentine tracery. The pulpit was very ornate and had a pedimented back, and the gallery fronts were clad in cast iron panels.[1] The chapel has a larger seating capacity compared to other Llanelli chapels, being able to seat 850 persons in 1905, and the Sunday School was also large, catering for 300 children. A house for the caretaker adjoins the chapel.[2] The chapel was designated as a Grade II listed building on 3 December 1992, the reason for listing being that it is a fine example of a chapel building of its type and is of particularly striking group value with Siloah Chapel, in Glanmor Road some {{convert|70|m}} away. The listing includes the adjoining former schoolroom, and the iron railings and two pairs of gates that face onto the street.[2] The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales curates the archaeological, architectural and historic records for this chapel. These include a number of digital photographs and three Chapels Photographic Societies Collections.[3] References1. ^{{cite book|author1=Thomas Lloyd|author2=Julian Orbach|author3=Robert Scourfield|title=Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wEkcJb2lHx8C&pg=PA279 |year=2006|publisher=Yale University Press|isbn=0-300-10179-1|page=279}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Bethel Baptist Chapel & Schoolroom, including Gates & Railings to Entrance, Marine Street, Llanelli |url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-11925-bethel-baptist-chapel-schoolroom-includin#.VxIZF3rGA4A |publisher=British Listed Buildings|accessdate=16 April 2016}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/100867/details/ST+TEILO'S+CHURCH%3BLLANDEILO+FAWR%2C+LLANDEILO/ |title=St Teilo's Church, Llandeilo |work=Coflein |publisher=Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales |accessdate=27 April 2016}} 5 : Grade II listed churches in Carmarthenshire|Churches in Llanelli|Churches completed in 1840|Chapels in Carmarthenshire|Baptist churches in Wales |
