Salem Chapel, Robertstown
Salem, Robertstown is an Independent (Congregationalist) chapel in Bridge Street, Robertstown, Aberdare, Wales. Early history The history of Salem can be traced back to 1835, when Joseph Harrison, minister of Ebenezer, Trecynon broke away from that church because he was prepared to administer baptism by total immersion to those who wished. This was contrary to the beliefs of Independent church members. Meetings were initially held in houses and later in the long room of the White Lion Inn. Although this was disapproved of by a number of members who were teetotal it was far from unusual for the chapels of the valley to have their early origins in meetings in public houses. This difficulty was initially addressed by building a wooden hut in 1836 which was known as ''Ty Planca''. Soon it became too small and the congregation proceed to build Salem in 1841, at a cost of £550, and on land leased from Dr James Lewis Roberts. Joseph Harrison was minister until his death in 1851.
