The Welsh Village They Erased: Capel Celyn, 1965

Описание: In 1965, a quiet Welsh village called Capel Celyn disappeared beneath the water.

Families who had lived in the Tryweryn Valley for generations were forced to leave their homes as the valley was transformed into a reservoir.

Homes, farms, a school, a post office and a chapel were lost beneath the rising water.

Decades later, when the water level falls, traces of the old village can still appear — offering a rare glimpse into a community that was never truly forgotten.

This is the story of Capel Celyn — a lost Welsh village, the people who called it home, and the history that still lies beneath the water.
