History stolen from @Buffalo:​

Salem Methodist Chapel was built in 1833 in Arthog, near Barmouth in North Wales. In 1868 it was rebuilt in the Gothic style of the gable-entry type, by architect Thomas of Landore, and eventually closed in 1973. Apparently the owner of the building moved abroad to avoid paying a bill for a quarter of a million pounds, which means as a result the walls and other works of the structure are unsafe to passing motorists and local residents due to lack of maintenance. It has been assessed and surveyed and is deemed likely to collapse on itself if it does go.​

The explore​

Took quite a long walk to get here, but it was well worth the visit. Even ended up sleeping here on a late night out, the place was pretty far gone and was falling down. It was nice to get to explore a chapel as this was something new for us both.​

As I've already written to Buffalos pics: It's a nice place. 

I like the first black & white shot, the green window with the plants and the organ.
