Evan Howells Butchers Shop

Evan Howells Butchers Shop is a Grade II* listed building. The shop features a plate glass storefront with slender round corner mullions and a shallow green tiled plinth. The left side has a deep decorative reveal adorned with green and white tiled panels made by Minton Hollins from Stoke on Trent. The entrance includes a billet moulded doorcase and double doors of plate glass with panels below, along with a mosaic floor canopy that has fittings.

Inside, there is a complete decorative tiled scheme primarily in green and white, featuring painted panels of beef cattle within frames and other art nouveau decorative panels, all set between a coloured tiled dado and cornice. The ceiling is painted and encrusted, reportedly made of tin. The interior also contains a range of metal meat hooks and racks, wooden butchers' blocks, and a wood block floor. At the rear, there is cool storage and it is said to have one of the first fridges in the Rhondda. Beneath the shop, there is reportedly a shaft to a furnace that disposed of waste and heated several shops and the now-demolished Salem chapel, as well as a tunnel leading to the railway.
