Calfaria, Llanelli

Calfaria , Llanelli, was one of the many baptist chapels in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales.

Established in 1881, the original chapel is a modest red-brick building which cost £500 and was opened in January 1882.[1] Within seven years a new chapel was built, designed by George Morgan of Carmarthen.[1] It flourished for over a century before closing in the early twenty-first century. The building is now derelict.
