Around Pontardawe

Description

Llyfr yn llawn lluniau archif du-a-gwyn yn olrhain hanes hudol a bywiog Pontardawe a’r cymunedau cysylltiol. Tref y gweithfeydd dur yw Pontardawe i lawer, ond chwaraeodd glo, haearn, tun a chrochenwaith ran bwysig yn natblygiad y dref hefyd, ynghyd â Chamlas Abertawe a fu’n brif lwybr trafnidiaeth yr ardal cyn dyfodiad y rheilffordd.
A fully illustrated volume of black-and-white photographs reflecting the fascinating and invigorating history of Pontardawe and its associated communities. For many, Pontardawe is the archetypal steelworks town which grew and mushroomed virtually overnight. However, coal, iron, tinplate and pottery were also renowned in the area as was the Swansea Canal.
