The logbook of Rosemarket School reveals how it became a pioneer of the School Meals Service.

Mae llyfr log Ysgol Rhosfarced yn datgelu sut yr arloesodd y Gwasanaeth Prydau Ysgol.

Roedd Florence Howell (1869-1946) yn ddramodydd arobryn o Sir Benfro. Ar y dechrau, cynhyrchodd ddramâu un act, un yn cynnwys Jane Wogan ym 1924, am fam sy'n colli ei phlentyn ac yn ennill un arall o'r môr. Yn rhyfeddol, y tro cyntaf i Florence fynd i theatr oedd i weld Jane Wogan yn ennill cystadleuaeth Theatr Ddrama Un Act Ryngwladol!

Florence Howell (1869-1946) was an award-winning playwright from Pembrokeshire. At first, she produced one-act plays, which included Jane Wogan in 1924, about a mother who loses her child and gains another from the sea. Remarkably, the first time Florence went to a theatre was to see Jane Wogan win the International One Act Play Theatre competition!

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!
