By the mid 1950s, Liverpool's search for water had become desperate. The ever expanding industrial district and another boom in population had created a need for clean drinking water. But it would not be the first time that Liverpool corporation came looking to quench its thirst in Wales.
If Dolanog was the stage rehearsal for Capel Celyn, Llanwddyn would set the scene some 75 years before. A distant echo that served Wales a warning, that all things are temporary. Like the spirit that lay dormant under the rocks, when the never satisfied wheels of capital and industry start to falter - the spirit of destruction rose. It's those at the bottom who will pay the price. To understand Capel Celyn you first need to understand Llanwddyn, and to understand Llyn Celyn you first need to understand Llyn Efyrnwy. This is a story from our country's past. A story of growth, greed, opportunity, beauty and tragedy. A story which for many has been allowed to become myth, mythologised, romanticised and by some, forgotten
In this episode, we’ll look at the campaign to save Llanwddyn during the 1880’s. We’ll explore Liverpool's explosive growth decades prior and how this had a ripple effect on mid Wales. We’ll also consider what lessons were learned from the drowning of Llanwddyn and how this reservoir was used by politicians and campaigners alike when planning another reservoir some 75 years later.. From Llanwyddyn to Capel Celyn.
