Instead of having no posssibility of a life anywhere but working on the land, children were given enough education to enable some of them to do something different with their lives if they wanted to. | ||

The dotted line at the bottom of the map shows the line of the water aqueduct
from the Elan Valley reservoirs to Birmingham. The building of this brought
work to all the small Radnorshire communities it passed through. |
