Description: Slates from quarries in Wales once went to roof the world. By the late nineteenth century as many as a third of all the roofing slates produced worldwide came from Wales, competing with quarries in France and the United States. This book traces the industry. Ar un adeg byddai llechi o chwareli Cymru yn mynd i doi adeiladau'r byd. Erbyn diwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg roedd cymaint ag un rhan o dair o'r holl lechi toi a gynhyrchid yn y byd yn dod o Gymru, gan gystadlu a chwareli yn Ffrainc a'r Unol Daleithiau. Mae'r llyfr hwn yn olrhain hanes y diwydiant.
