Carmel Chapel, Abercrave Today

Carmel Chapel, Abercrave was demolished in 2007. As of 2018, the site of the chapel remains vacant land. We took a journey across this, and into the cemetery behind.


The site of Carmel Chapel today. Click the photograph to see how it used to look when the chapel was still there. Below are a few more views as we moved along the site towards the cemetery, looking back on where the chapel used to stand.

 
 

Views of Carmel Cemetery

Carmel Cemetery remains intact and in use behind the site of the now demolished Carmel Chapel.


The cemetery consists mainly of a path up the left hand side, with one line of graves to its left, and the vast majority of the cemetery to the right. The photographs below give a snapshot flavour of the cemetery, including probably its most striking memorial with the angel thrusting into the air.
