The BBC writes:<\/p>\n
Heritage body Cadw gave special protection to nine sites, including the Capel Celyn Memorial Chapel in 2019.<\/p>\n
The Big Apple in Mumbles, an iconic feature and described as “a rare and unusual example of a seaside refreshment kiosk” is also listed.<\/p>\n
Four buildings and five sites were protected.<\/p>\n
In 1965, Capel Celyn was controversially flooded in order to create a reservoir which would supply water to Liverpool….<\/p>\n
The Gwynedd village’s school, chapel, post office and houses were lost beneath the Tryweryn reservoir.<\/p>\n
A memorial chapel was built on the side of Tryweryn using stones that were once part of the buildings in the lost village.<\/p>\n
Welsh Water chief executive Chris Jones said listing it reflects “its cultural significance and its crucial importance to the local community and the history of our country”….<\/p>\n
The sites that were made scheduled monuments included the Llanerch-y-Mor smelting chimneys in Holywell and Ffynnon Angoeron (the Freezing Well), in Goetre Fawr, Monmouthshire.<\/p>\n
There is also the remains of a Lockheed aircraft abandoned in 1942 and now buried at Morfa Harlech National Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n
From World War Two, “pill box” anti-invasion defences at St Mary’s and Tresilian Bay, both in Vale of Glamorgan, are the fourth and fifth monuments listed.<\/p>\n
