1956 Core53 Post Office Reservoir Telephone Box Wave Waves Waving Capel Celyn Tryweryn
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1956, we are transported to the Tryweryn Valley in Capel Celyn. The image showcases Mr Jones Parry, the postmaster of this quaint village, standing proudly outside his post office. Little did he know that this picturesque scene would soon be forever lost beneath the waters of a reservoir. As we gaze at the photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of melancholy knowing what fate awaits Capel Celyn. The impending flood looms over the valley like an ominous wave ready to erase history and displace its inhabitants. Mr Jones Parry stands tall amidst this bittersweet moment in time. His presence exudes resilience as he waves goodbye to a way of life that will soon be submerged under progress's relentless march forward. The surrounding elements add depth to the composition; a traditional telephone box symbolizes connectivity now severed, while gentle waves on Tryweryn River hint at nature's power about to reshape everything familiar. This evocative snapshot captures not only one man's story but also serves as a poignant reminder of communities sacrificed for societal advancement. It prompts us to reflect on how progress often comes at great cost and raises questions about our responsibility towards preserving heritage and respecting human lives affected by such developments. Memory Lane Prints has immortalized this powerful moment in history through their collection, allowing us all to bear witness to these forgotten tales etched into time itself.
