What is recorded here

Foel Tower Elan Valley is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps it watched the valley for centuries, its stones drinking rain until they vanished into grass. Maybe a keeper lived there, marking time by the shape of shadows on the rock. Imagine the tower reappearing in memory, not as ruin but as a living sentinel, still turning its invisible gaze across the land.

Foel Tower in the Elan Valley was built in the early 19th century by the Elan Valley Water Board as part of the infrastructure for the Elan Valley Scheme, which supplied water to Birmingham. It is remembered as a key element in the industrial and engineering history of Wales.
