High end of the Craig Goch dam in the Elan Valley, I’ve been looking at this view for my entire life, and this past Wednesday looked at it for what will probably be the last time, at least for a long while.

Here's the last throwback for tonite - The Elan Valley is a great place to visit if you get the chance! #elanvalley #dam #boost

our day out in the sunshine, in the Elan Valley, mid-Wales. Its natural beauty contrasts with that of human endeavour and modern technology of the 1950s - pearl-gray jaguar XKJ150 faces the Claerwen dam in one pic, with its rear to the treeless hills of the valley.

Herein the evidence ... aged 14 years ... just ... he was born on 17th March 1888 and died on 27th April 1902.
Yet wherever one seems to look on the Internet he died in 1904 aged 16.
Such is the spread of error.

The sculpture at Elan Valley visitor centre marking the centenary of the civil engineering project to provide the city of #Birmingham with wholesome fresh Welsh water.

Sculpture at the Elan Valley visitor's centre showing a workman standing exhausted with his pick after a day's work. His left hand would have been atop the handle of the pick standing inverted on the ground except that his left hand is missing. Perhaps missing symbolically as well as from the statue.

Water cascading over a dam. In front of the dam a river transports the water away. On either side of the river sits a single storey brick building linked by a three arched brick bridge

A little further round Elan valley (heading in the eventual direction of Aberystwyth) - water pours over the Pen-y Garreg dam (the middle dam). #Wales #ElanValley #VictorianArchitecture #Photography
