Llanelli Through Time

Description

Mae gan dref Llanelli hanes hir a disglair. Datblygodd yn gyflym yn ystod y ddeunawfed a’r bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg gyda thwf y diwydiannau glo, tun a dur, ac ennill iddi’i hun y llysenw ‘Tinopolis’. Yr oedd hefyd yn un o ganolfannau pennaf Anghydffurfiaeth Gymreig a Chymraeg, a adlewyrchir yn ei phensaernïaeth grefyddol.
The largest town in the county of Carmarthenshire, Llanelli has a long and illustrious history. Llanelli grew quickly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with the advent of the coal, tinplate and steel industries, gaining the nickname ‘Tinopolis’ due to its significance. Llanelli was also a major centre for Welsh nonconformity, reflected in its religious architecture.
