Capel Celyn
A Welsh-speaking village drowned beneath Llyn Celyn to supply Liverpool. ‘Cofiwch Dryweryn’ is still painted on walls across Wales.Pentref Cymraeg a foddwyd dan Lyn Celyn i gyflenwi Lerpwl. Mae ‘Cofiwch Dryweryn’ yn dal i gael ei baentio ar waliau ledled Cymru.
Liverpool Corporation won the right to flood the valley through a private Act of Parliament in 1957. Not one Welsh MP voted for it.
The reservoir opened in October 1965. A memorial chapel stands on the shore of Llyn Celyn.
Enillodd Corfforaeth Lerpwl yr hawl i foddi’r cwm drwy Ddeddf Seneddol breifat yn 1957. Ni phleidleisiodd yr un AS o Gymru drosti.
Agorodd y gronfa ym mis Hydref 1965. Mae capel coffa ar lan Llyn Celyn.
