I wish they would rebuild the Village nearby with a Museum, and Chapel, School along with the Farm and Manor House.
This should never be forgotten.
Fresh images show Capel Celyn rising from the depleted waters of a drought-hit reservoir. The village sacrificed to provide a water supply to the people of Liverpool in 1965, is a totem of Welsh identity.
It was home to 70 people and once had a post office, school, and a chapel with a cemetery. But they were submerged along with houses and a farm when the Tryweryn Valley, near Bala in Gwynedd was flooded.
Cofiwch Dryweryn (Remember Tryweryn) is the iconic slogan associated with this hugely controversial decision. The latest pictures, taken by North Wales Live photographer Ian Cooper show fresh graffiti in Welsh and English saying "Llyn Celyn llawn celwydd (Llyn Celyn full of lies); "English out" and "Capel Celyn will live again Liverpool".
Other slogans say "Yma O Hyd (Still Here)" and this slogan sprayed on a road around the reservoi: "Aur ywr dwr o dryweryn a llaw y sais yn y llyn'"which translates roughly to "Gold is the water of Tryweryn and the hand of the Englishman in the lake".
The water levels are expected to rise, following the official start of autumn last week, but the fact the village is still visible so late in the year highlights just how dry 2022 has been so far.
North Wales was put into drought status on September 8 with Natural Resources Wales stating: "Despite heavy rainfall in North Wales over recent days and weeks, is has not been sufficient to compensate for the impacts of the prolonged dry weather period over recent months." Even with rain in the recent weeks' Wales as a whole has only received 62% of the long-term average rainfall for the month.
