Cofiwch Dryweryn

 

Hay has very little graffiti generally, but this slogan has just appeared above the bookshelves under Hay Bridge.

The original graffiti was painted on a wall overlooking a reservoir in Ceredigion, containing water intended for Liverpool - the making of the reservoir drowned the village of Treweryn, and the phrase means "Remember Tryweryn".  It has become a statement in support of Welsh nationalism.

I'm not sure why the graffiti artist thought that Hay Bridge was a good site for the slogan.
