๐๏ธ PROJECT โ LAKE VYRNWY
Scaffolding now complete around the memorial monument at Lake Vyrnwy, providing safe access for essential maintenance and repair works.
There is a huge amount of history surrounding this site. Construction of the Vyrnwy Dam began in 1881, creating the reservoir to supply Liverpool with drinking water. The dam was completed in 1890 and remains one of the great achievements of Victorian engineering.
Close to the dam stands the Grade II listed Memorial Obelisk to the Lake Vyrnwy Workers, erected by their fellow workmen. It commemorates 44 men who lost their lives during the construction of the dam and associated reservoir works โ 10 through site accidents and 34 from other causes.
Itโs a privilege for us to play a small part in helping preserve a monument that remembers the men behind one of Walesโ most significant engineering projects. ๐ทโโ๏ธ
