Charlie, age 5 sent us his fantastic drawing of Poncysyllte "Aqueduck"!

  • The Aqueduck, by Charlie age 5

Mr M Wynne Griffith has written to tell us:

"During World War 2 I was living...only a mile or so from the

aqueduct...my father joined the Local Defence Volunteers...Their duty

was to guard the aqueduct to prevent the enemy making use of it... the

putlog holes on the south pier of the northernmost arch were opened and

we always understood that demolition charges were to be placed there if

the threat became very real. I do not know if any of the other arches

had the same treatment because we never walked under them."
