During the 19th century this was a noisy, smoky place as lead was extracted and processed, before being transported to nearby Llanidloes and shipped down the River Severn.
Yn ystod y 19eg ganrif, roedd yma le swnllyd, myglyd wrth i’r plwm gael ei echdynnu a’i brosesu, cyn cael ei gludo i Lanidloes gerllaw ac yna mewn llongau i lawr Afon Hafren.
