The Dolgarrog Dam Disaster claimed the lives of 16 people and led to the introduction of current UK reservoir safety legislation. This paper is a summary of the events of that fatal night in 1925, the legislation that followed and an account of the recent improvement works carried out to the memorial site in the village of Dolgarrog.
