Tryweryn Valley - The little hamlet of Capel Celyn, which will be submerged when the valley is flooded for the reservoir - July 1963
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print from Memory Lane Prints captures a moment frozen in time. It transports us back to the 1960s, specifically to the serene hamlet of Capel Celyn nestled within Tryweryn Valley. However, this idyllic scene holds a bittersweet truth. In July 1963, as depicted in this image, plans were underway to flood the valley for the construction of a reservoir. This would ultimately result in Capel Celyn being submerged beneath its waters forever. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of both human resilience and loss. The composition showcases quaint cottages lining narrow lanes while surrounded by lush green hillsides. It evokes a sense of tranquility that belies the imminent upheaval about to befall this close-knit community. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our hearts ache for those whose lives were uprooted and homes lost due to progress's relentless march forward. Yet it also compels us to reflect on how communities endure even amidst great adversity. Let this photograph serve as an enduring testament not only to Capel Celyn's tragic fate but also as a call for remembrance and empathy towards all who have faced similar challenges throughout history.
