History
1837 former English Congregational Chapel, sold ca 1879 and used until 1991 as printing house of Cardigan and Tivyside Advertiser. The first Independent congregation in Cardigan was established in a loft behind No 39 St Mary's Street in 1799. In 1836, Thomas Lloyd came to Cardigan to set up the first foundry in the Mwldan bringing English-speaking workmen from Pembrokeshire. He leased Nos 39 and 40 Saint Mary's Street and built the Chapel 1837, the site being empty on 1834 map. Building was sold 1880 after the new Hope Chapel, Pendre, was built and briefly used as a Temperance Hall, before becoming part of the newspaper premises.
