Editor,

I am writing with regard to a recent article regarding the Cofiwch Dryweryn wall near Llanrhystud.

I note that the wall is to be restored to its original form and wondered if the lettering and colouration is to be restored too, to its original form, minus its now red background.

This new form of the sign, since the spates of vandalism that have occurred, now seems to be spreading like a corporate logo which will soon require a copy write.

On a recent trip to Bala an identical sign I now visible in a place I used to pass regularly in the 1980s to mid-2000s without my being aware of it. I am not against airing our grievances, but why is Ceredigion not raising a similar interest in the flooded hamlet and farms of Nant y Moch, which also happened in the 1960s and the 18 dwellings, farm, church, chapel and schoolhouse at Nantgwyllt, Elan Valley and Claerwen Dams.

My own great uncle George Emlyn Williams wrote, directed and acted in The Last Days of Dolwyn a film released in 1949 inspired by the building of these dams since the 1880s, all of them changing Welsh communities and creating resentment within Wales.

If as a nation we wish to promote remembrance of ills done by the English Governance since 1066 one such incident above all others, it is an insult to other communities.
