about

Field recording of a squeaky gate leading from the A4212 to the western bank of Llyn Celyn, accompanied by wooden toy whistle.

In 1960, a private bill sponsored by Liverpool City Council was brought before Parliament to develop a reservoir in the Tryweryn Valley in order to supply Liverpool and the Wirral with water. The development included the flooding of Capel Celyn, a small village of 67 Welsh-speaking inhabitants. By obtaining authority via an Act of Parliament, Liverpool CC did not require planning consent from the relevant Welsh local authorities, and avoided a planning enquiry at Welsh level at which arguments against the proposal could be expressed. 35 out of 36 Welsh MPs opposed the bill (the other did not vote), but in 1962 it was passed. The village was flooded in 1965.
