METHODIST CHAPELS IN LLANISHEN
In 1856 the local Wesleyan Methodists purchased two cottages at the junction of Caerphilly Road and Beulah Road and converted them into a Chapel and Sunday School. By the end of the century houses were beginning to be built around the railway stations at Llanishen and Llandaff & Whitchurch. Whitchurch was growing southwards and at Birchgrove was meeting the northward expansion of Cardiff. The Llanishen chapel at Caerphilly Crossroads felt it was isolated from the growing population centres and in 1896 decided to move. The Cardiff Roath Road Circuit built Century Wesleyan Methodist Church in Melbourne Road and opened it in February 1901 with those members who lived in Llanishen proper. In 1903 the Birchgrove chapel opened for the remainder of the congregation and the original Llanishen chapel was sold.

THE HALLspac
The Hall was erected in 1926 as a temporary structure. A second-hand First World War billet-hut, it cost £500 and has served successive generations of Methodists well over the years. It originally had a stage on which pantomimes and concerts were a regular feature in the post-war years. Since then it has been "modernized'  inside at least twice, once in the 1960's when it lost its stage and the heating system was improved; and again in the 1980s when an adequate heating system was installed for the first time; and a practical kitchen provided. The church hopes to be able to replace the present structure in the forseeable future.
