Llanycil - Mossy Woodland by Llyn Celyn
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Llanycil - Mossy Woodland by Llyn Celyn Construction of Llyn Celyn involved flooding the village of Capel Celyn and adjacent farmland, a deeply controversial move. Much of the anger was occasioned because the village was a strong-hold of Welsh culture and the Welsh language, whilst the reservoir was being built to supply Liverpool and parts of Wirral with water, rather than Wales. The legislation enabling the development was also passed despite the opposition of 35 out of 36 Welsh Members of Parliament, with the 36th not voting. This led to an increase in support for the Welsh Nationalist party, Plaid Cymru, in the late 1950s and gave fresh impetus to Welsh devolution. The drowned community is commemorated by the Tryweryn Memorial Chapel. |
