The Black Pit of Tonypandy

Description

Ar un adeg, roedd llongau a threnau’r byd yn creu galw mawr am lo ager – ac roedd glo gorau’r byd yng Nghwm Rhondda – un o gymoedd De Cymru. Agorodd dwsinau o byllau glo a heidiodd miloedd o weithwyr i’r ardal. Fe wnaeth y pyllau glo greu cyfoeth enfawr … ond ddim i bawb.
At one time, the world’s ships and trains created a huge demand for steam coal – and the best coal in the world was in Cwm Rhondda – one of the South Wales Valleys. Dozens of pits opened, and thousands of workers flowed into the area. They created massive wealth . . . but not for everyone.
