Early 60s if I'm right, it was so sad, I new some of the families that lost their livelihoods, but can't remember a lot afte I had a stroke, Bryn Tynant

And the villages disappeared for WAR use but never returned to civilan owners..

Watching this once beautiful Welsh village being destroyed is heartbreaking. As an Englishman, I'm embarrassed and ashamed that we allowed this to happen in our name. The English parliament had no right to go into another country, destroy a thriving community, and steal what wasn't theirs. To add insult to injury, the water was never needed for Liverpool, a fact that would have been known before the demolition began. We should have come together, English and Welsh alike, and stopped it. I am so very sorry that we didn't.

I've never understood why some Welsh people feel animosity towards the English. Watching this, I think I do now. And I'm sorry.

how green was my valley myfanwy?

Really sad and should not have been aloud

Did anything ever come of this?

What was so disgusting was the horrible way they went about usurping the valley and its water from Wales! As this dam was really just used as a means to regulate the flow down the River Dee where they pumped the water out, treated it, then pumped it to Liverpool, they could've achieved the same result by one or more weirs over the border in England, but that would've cost more in compensation, and cost votes!

Manic Street Preachers brought me here ,Nicky Wire talking about it. Think something similar happened in Yorkshire as well. So sad Truth and Memory is the Manics documentary it’s on here .

Horrible and sad what happened. 😢

Apparently the villagers and others went to Liverpool in demonstration thinking that if the people of Liverpool were made aware of what was happening then it might save the village.. but they threw stuff and spat at them. So if you pass think of what was lost and feel free to take a pi$$ in the reservoir.. Cofiwch Derweryn a cofiwch Nid wyn Gymru ar werth..

Cumry am byth till dun yr saes

Hi my heart is bleeding when I see these destroy off the village and I hope that can come back to with people on the street and building with life again and I hope that can be a dream come true 😭 😭 have a great day my friend 🙏

Huge part of my Welsh heritage. Such sadness, music fits perfectly. Cofiwch Dryweryn.

Love the music goes well with this sad incident

It's very sad that the village was lost but it's no different to most other reservoirs in the UK

Liverpool are not a good people for you

Amazing job

It is shocking, devastating and shameful this happened

Ladybower reservoir is in Derby.

With the current (2022) drought I would imagine the Welsh are eyeing-up Liverpool Corporation through jaundiced eyes.

Good day. Can anyone help me with obtaining a track plan layout details for Bala station. I am proposing to build a model and these plans would help me significantly

When was this

Walked around this yesterday

A crime against humanity 😔

shame.

😳😳😳😳 OOOOOOH … mizzzerrrable boy-oh 😳😳😳😀😀

What on Earth are they travelling on sounds like it’s powered by at least 30 rubber bands haha

Good work! Does the double rail indicate a dual guage?

Wonder if there is any progress ? I know that the reservoir cut off the link to Bala but what a useful line that could have been if it was to reopen the full length … I’m sure where there is a will it could be done… I’m sure a detour section could be made to get a round the reservoir …. Would have thought a rail bus shuttle service would be viable linking Bala and BF

Surely!!!!!! There was an alternative

I understand the anger of the Welsh people who were affected by this, it must have been terrible to see al their history and future disappearing in one go. I would point out however that Wales is not the only part of the country that has suffered this, where I live in Derbyshire I can think of at east 3 villages lost to reservoirs to provide water to Manchester, and there are many more across the country.

I hope those people have to get used to parking somewhere other than across the lines. I truly wish I could win that euro millions lottery I know of at least one really good cause I would happily help out.

Must have passed through Capal Celyn as we holidayed down on the Lynn Peninsula from 1957-1976.I think the traffic was diverted around the other side from 1960, I was too young to remember those early journeys

I remember travelling past here as a teen in the 80s and the water level being low and remains visible . I remember "death to liverpool", or something similar being painted on the layby we parked in, but didn't understand the reasons for the animosity . I grew up in Rutland and remember people displaced by Rutland water.

Dont forget Beeching was told to fix it and make Railways Pay and some of his suggestions were bang on the money !! Intercity and High Speed Long Distance Trunk Route Freight were both the correct direction and in fact now with the channel tunnel we need to work making more of Tunnel and Freight routes To/From Europe.. Remember Beeching produced the Report BR AND MINISTERS WHO SUPPORTED ROAD TRANSPORT ACTUALLY CLOSED THE RAILWAYS NOT BEECHING HE COULDNT SHUT ANY LINES..

Trasiedi ddiwylliannol..

Bloody ell, I'm from Liverpool and I knew we got our water from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, didn't know at what cost though

The pictures tell us everything we need to know. The fake scratches and imitation black blotches actually spoil the impact of the photos. The morbid music is just overkill. This was a serious and important issue for the folk who lived in the village. It does not need modern 'spin' or dramatisation to get the message across. Perhaps a human voice narrating the photos would suffice.

At last now the UK is beginning to realize what fools we were asking Dr Beeching to do what he did , but with people like these all is not lost ! What fantastic people they are!!!

Let's get it back ASAP...Diolch yn fawr.

Should & could have piped the water from the lake district...

I can’t listen to this song without thinking of One More Spark.

So sad that an English city has the power to do this travesty to a small community in effectively another country.

Bring it back to life boys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Any railway being re introduced is AWESOME. Good luck.Keep up the love.Keep up the dream. Amsparadegeuthus.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Wishing you all the very best of luck with this amazing project

I remember that railtour with the class 59/2 cos I was on it! Absolutely fantastic day! It was thought it was to be the last train south of BF, but no, another tour ran in October 1998 which was the final train!

Its heartbreaking and unforgivable what was done to this community. I went there only yesterday to lay some flowers and say a prayer...cofiwch dryweryn ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
