Summary
[edit]DescriptionAberfan Cemetery - geograph.org.uk - 1728261.jpg |
English: Aberfan Cemetery. This photograph was taken in 1984 on a visit to support the South Wales Miners at the Deep Navigation Colliery at Treharris. Part of the day involved visiting the Aberfan Cemetery to pay respects to the victims of the 1966 disaster when on October 21st 1966 part of the village and a whole school was indundated with mud from a slurry tip, killing 144 people, including half the children at the school.
The impact of such an event on a small community is hard to imagine. The long rows of white memorial arches on the graves of the victims (in the top left of this picture) are a moving testimony. I cannot vouch for the exact accuracy of the location. I have made a best guess from Google maps. |
