Oswestry & Border History & Archaeology Group 

  Our next meeting is at the Methodist Church Hall, Castle Street SY11 1LF

Friday 12th Sept at 7.30 pm

 

                   'The lakes that never happened- 110 years of failed dam building in Montgomeryshire'

 
With Richard Church
Richard, who has written on this subject for the journal of the Powysland Club, will be focussing on proposals from the 1860s through to the 1960s, to construct dams across the Vyrnwy, Banwy and Tanat valleys,

         flooding valleys and uprooting communities; schemes which did not materialise - the dams were never actually built.
