Description
Tryweryn: A New Dawn? explores one of the most contentious events in modern Welsh history - the flooding of the Tryweryn Valley in North Wales to supply Liverpool's water needs. This book delves into the complex politics and human impact behind the construction of Llyn Celyn, a reservoir that was built at the expense of the local community.
Through extensive research, including archival evidence and oral testimony, the author sheds light on the constitutional journey of the Tryweryn Reservoir Bill and its far-reaching consequences. The book also examines the subsequent growth of Welsh nationalism and the cultural expression that emerged in response to Cwm Trywern's transformation.
With over 20 years of research behind it, Tryweryn: A New Dawn? offers a nuanced understanding of this pivotal event in Wales' modern history, providing valuable insights for anyone interested in the country's complex relationships with its past and present.
