These plans held by Bangor University Archives show a proposal for a cinema named The New City Picture House and later City Cinema. It was opened on Bangor High Street by a Mr J R Saronie in 1919 and then taken over by a Guy Baker in 1945. Following Mr Baker’s death it then closed in 1983. In 1919 during the year of its opening stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickofrd may have graced its silver screen! Mae'r cynlluniau hyn sydd gan Archifau Prifysgol Bangor yn dangos cynnig ar gyfer sinema o'r enw The New City Picture House, ac yn ddiweddarach y ‘City Cinema’. Fe'i hagorwyd ar Stryd Fawr Bangor gan Mr J R Saronie ym 1919 ac yna fe'i cymerwyd drosodd gan Guy Baker ym 1945. Yn dilyn marwolaeth Mr Baker, caeodd ym 1983. Ym 1919, yn ystod blwyddyn ei hagoriad, mae'n bosibl bod sêr fel Charlie Chaplin a Mary Pickford wedi ymddangos ar ei sgrin fawr! Mae'r delweddau hyn yn dangos yr eitemau lleiaf yng nghasgliad Archifau Conwy. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys tocyn mynediad i ddarlith (1937), tocyn Llyfrgell Llandudno (1941), Llyfr Dogni Plant (1953) a cherdyn mynediad i wledd (1958). Detholiad eclectig o ddogfennau sy'n dweud cymaint wrthym am fywydau pobl yng nghanol y 1900au! These images show the smallest items in Conwy Archives entire collection. These include a lecture admission ticket (1937) a Llandudno Library ticket (1941) a Child's Ration Book (1953) and a banquet admittance card (1958). The term small but mighty comes to mind, an eclectic selection of documents that tell us so much about people’s lives during the mid-1900s. Mae'r gwahoddiad hwn yn eich gwahodd i agoriad llyfrgell newydd yn Ysgol Bechgyn Castell Cyfarthfa ym Merthyr Tudful ar 25 Hydref 1923. Mae'n nodi y bydd y seremoni ei hun yn cael ei chynnal gan y maer, ac yna te prynhawn. Mae'r dathliadau'n dechrau am 5pm, peidiwch â bod yn hwyr! This invitation invites you to the grand opening of a new library at Cyfartha Castle Boys School in Merythr Tydfill on the 25th of October 1923. It states the ceremony itself will be held by the mayor, followed by an afternoon tea. Festivities begin at 5pm, don’t be late! Efallai y bydd y llythyr hwn sydd gan Archifau Prifysgol Bangor yn gwneud i'ch llygaid frifo ychydig…. This letter held by Bangor University Archives might be making your eyes hurt a bit…. Rydyn ni'n archwilio stori menyw arall sy'n ymddangos yn llyfr Carchar Brynbuga.
