The Elan Valley dams
People of the drowned valleys |
The wonderful
group photograph shown below was taken shortly before the valleys of the
Rivers Elan and Claerwen
were to be flooded for ever by the new Birmingham waterworks scheme. The people from the two valleys gathered together in Dol-y-Mynach meadow for a special tea party and entertainment for the children. The smaller pictures are close-up details from the main photograph, including the fiddler on the right ! |
