I remember travelling past here as a teen in the 80s and the water level being low and remains visible . I remember "death to liverpool", or something similar being painted on the layby we parked in, but didn't understand the reasons for the animosity . I grew up in Rutland and remember people displaced by Rutland water.

So sad that an English city has the power to do this travesty to a small community in effectively another country.

England has always treated the Welsh,Scots and Irish abysmally. They don't care about us. I remember seeing this on TV when I was younger I'm 61 now. It's was the days of b/w TV. It always left a pain in my gut even as a child.

Must have passed through Capal Celyn as we holidayed down on the Lynn Peninsula from 1957-1976.I think the traffic was diverted around the other side from 1960, I was too young to remember those early journeys

Apparently the villagers and others went to Liverpool in demonstration thinking that if the people of Liverpool were made aware of what was happening then it might save the village.. but they threw stuff and spat at them. So if you pass think of what was lost and feel free to take a pi$$ in the reservoir.. Cofiwch Derweryn a cofiwch Nid wyn Gymru ar werth..

What was so disgusting was the horrible way they went about usurping the valley and its water from Wales! As this dam was really just used as a means to regulate the flow down the River Dee where they pumped the water out, treated it, then pumped it to Liverpool, they could've achieved the same result by one or more weirs over the border in England, but that would've cost more in compensation, and cost votes!

Watching this once beautiful Welsh village being destroyed is heartbreaking. As an Englishman, I'm embarrassed and ashamed that we allowed this to happen in our name. The English parliament had no right to go into another country, destroy a thriving community, and steal what wasn't theirs. To add insult to injury, the water was never needed for Liverpool, a fact that would have been known before the demolition began. We should have come together, English and Welsh alike, and stopped it. I am so very sorry that we didn't.

I understand the anger of the Welsh people who were affected by this, it must have been terrible to see al their history and future disappearing in one go. I would point out however that Wales is not the only part of the country that has suffered this, where I live in Derbyshire I can think of at east 3 villages lost to reservoirs to provide water to Manchester, and there are many more across the country.

The displacement of any community is sad - but the difference here is that it was the death of the Welsh language in that valley - Welsh is _still_ in a fragile state - English isn't.

The pictures tell us everything we need to know. The fake scratches and imitation black blotches actually spoil the impact of the photos. The morbid music is just overkill. This was a serious and important issue for the folk who lived in the village. It does not need modern 'spin' or dramatisation to get the message across. Perhaps a human voice narrating the photos would suffice.
