<br />
Llyn Celyn Reservoir, constructed between 1959 and 1965, was a significant project in the history of Wales. It was built to supply water to Liverpool and parts of the Wirral peninsula in England, despite the strong opposition from the local Welsh community, particularly the village of Capel Celyn.<br />
<br />
The reservoir's construction involved the flooding of Capel Celyn and adjacent farmland, which was a deeply controversial move. The project was authorized by the Liverpool Corporation Act 1957, which allowed the construction without the consent of Welsh planning authorities. The plan had the backing of the Liverpool Labour MP and Councillor Bessie Braddock.<br />
<br />
The official opening of the reservoir was met with mass protests and opposition from Welsh MPs, leading to an increase in support for the Welsh nationalist party, Plaid Cymru.<br />
<br />
In October 2005, Liverpool City Council issued a public apology for the flooding of Capel Celyn, acknowledging its debt to the Welsh people who have made their homes in the City.<br />
<br />
On November 07, 1955 a deputation led by the Plaid Cymru president Gwynfor Evans had sought to address the council in a plea for a change in policy.<br />
<br />
According to Bessie Braddock’s biographer Ben Rees, while Evans was speaking, Bessie banged on the table and joined other councillors in insulting Evans and demanding that he "go back to Wales".<br />
<br />
In July 1957, when the enabling legislation reached its second House of Commons reading, Bessie described the scheme as regional rather than local, and claimed that some parts of Wales would benefit from it. The land to be flooded in the Tryweryn Valley was not, she said, of high agricultural value, and "nothing was done that was not agreed to by the tenants in the area".<br />
<br />
The bill became law, and construction began in 1959, but protests and demonstrations continued until the reservoir's opening in 1965.<br />
<br />
While the dam under construction in early 1963, Pwllheli café owner Owain Williams, Aberystwyth student Emyr Llewelyn, former RAF military policeman John Albert Jones formed the paramilitary group Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru - the Movement for the Defence of Wales.<br />
<br />
On the night of 9 February 1963, they travelled through blizzard conditions to plant a 5lb (2.3kg) bomb which destroyed an electricity transformer on the site at 03:15 the following morning. The opening ceremony of the Llyn Celyn Reservoir in 1965 was disrupted by protestors which included members of another paramilitary organisation – The Free Wales Army led by Julian Cayo Evans.<br />
<br />
The slogan Cofiwch Dryweryn ("Remember Tryweryn") was coined by nationalists, says Rees, as "a reminder of Liverpool's greed and lack of sensitivity".<br />
<br />
In October 2015, on the 50th anniversary of the reservoir's completion, protestors demonstrated around the statue of Bessie Braddock at Liverpool Lime Street station.<br />
