EDITORS COMMENTS
Tryweryn Valley - A Glimpse into History: This print captures a significant moment in time, showcasing a section of delegates attending a conference at Cardiff City Hall in December 1956. The focus of this crucial gathering was the controversial proposal to flood Capel Celyn, nestled within the picturesque Tryweryn Valley. As tensions ran high, these delegates from various backgrounds and perspectives came together to discuss the fate of this cherished Welsh community. The image itself speaks volumes about the gravity of the situation. The faces of those gathered reflect determination, concern, and perhaps even hope for a different outcome. Each individual represents not only themselves but also countless others who would be directly affected by the proposed reservoir project. Capel Celyn's potential submersion loomed large over this historic meeting. Its rich history and close-knit community faced an uncertain future as discussions unfolded behind closed doors. This photograph serves as both a reminder and testament to their struggle against progress that threatened their very existence. Preserved by Western Mail and Echo's Memory Lane Prints collection, this snapshot allows us to delve into Wales' past with curiosity and empathy. It prompts us to reflect on how decisions made decades ago continue to shape our present-day landscapes while honoring those whose lives were forever altered by such choices.
