Down Through the Trap Door – The History of Monmouth and Usk Gaols

Description

Cyn adeiladu’r carchar ym Mrynbuga, roedd gan Mynwy ran flaenllaw yn y broses o garcharu drwgweithredwyr y sir. Yn y gyfrol hon ceir hanes y ddau garchar, o’u sefydlu hyd at gau carchar Mynwy, a sefydlu carchar Brynbuga a’i swyddogaeth yn y gymuned heddiw.
Prior to the construction of the gaol at Usk, the border town of Monmouth played an important role in the incarceration of the county’s wrongdoers. In this book the account of the two gaols is told from their early history to the destruction of Monmouth gaol and the construction of Usk gaol and its role in the community today.
