Images from a Lake Vyrnwy photographer have revealed features of a Powys village which was flooded in the 1800's.
The old Llanwddyn village was submerged under what is now Lake Vyrnwy in order to create a reservoir for the expanding city of Liverpool.
The old village was demolished, the valley flooded, and the water reached the lip of the dam on 22 November 1889.
Records show that in 1850 the former village of Llanwddyn consisted of thirty seven houses, a church and two chapels, three pubs and several shops.
A new village was constructed below the site of the dam - today's Llanwddyn - but with water levels some 60% below normal, some features of the old village have begun to emerge from the depths, as these photos from photographer Andrew des'Ascoyne show.

Mr des'Ascoyne used a drone to show images of an old wall on the outskirts of the former village, which is normally submerged under deep water, on Sunday, September 26.
Current statistics show the levels of the reservoir at around 62%, over 20% below the normal average, with reservoir stocks around the UK showing similar levels of depletion.
