Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Astudiaeth o ddiwydiant yn ardal Porthmadog, yn cofnodi twf chwareli llechi mynyddoedd y Moelwyn, a gyflogai 3,000 o ddynion yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg, ynghyd â sefydlu Cwmni Rheilffordd Ffestiniog yn y 1830au i gario'r llechi rhwng Blaenau Ffestiniog a phorthladd Porthmadog, gan arwain at ddyfeisio'r injan drên enwog, y 'Double Fairlie'.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

The Moelwyn mountains' mines, which held the world's largest deposit of slate, employed around 3,000 men in the nineteenth century. In the 1830s, the Ffestiniog Railway Company was formed, in order to carry slate between Blaenau and Porthmadog harbour, leading to the invention of the famous 'Double Fairlie' locomotive train.
