Besting Mister Mostyn

Description

Mae’r teulu Mostyn yn gyfoethog a phwerus. Yn 1843, caiff y penteulu ganiatâd gan Ddeddf Seneddol i gau tir comin ger yr hyn sydd bellach yn dref Llandudno. Caiff y trigolion lleol a arferai fyw ar y tir eu troi o’u cartrefi, tra bo Arglwydd Mostyn yn symud i ddatblygu’r tir yn atyniad ffasiynol i ymwelwyr Oes Fictoria.
But it isn’t a hut, it’s a home. The Mostyns are a rich and powerful family. In 1843 the head of the family is granted permission by Act of Parliament to enclose common land near what is now the coastal town of Llandudno. Local people who originally lived on the land are turned out of their homes. Mostyn proceeds to develop the land into a fashionable Victorian tourist resort.
