Pryce-Jones: Arloeswr y Diwydiant Archebu Drwy’r Post |
 |
Ar ddiwedd y 19eg Ganrif roedd y melinau gwlân unwaith eto’n gwneud braidd yn wael. Doedd y glo a roddai bðer i’r peiriannau ddim ar gael yn lleol, ac roedd y gost o’i gario o ardaloedd pellach yn cael ei adlewyrchu ym mhris y brethyn. Heb gyswllt rheilffordd uniongyrchol o’r Drenewydd i Gymoedd De Cymru, câi’r gwneuthurwyr lleol eu gorfodi i anfon eu gwlanen i’r Gogledd lle roedd y gystadleuaeth yn para’n llym. Yn y pen draw Rochdale oedd yn cynhyrchu’r rhan fwyaf o Wlanen “Cymreig” Pryce-Jones.
Ym 1912 bu’n rhaid i ffatri fwyaf y Drenewydd, Melin y Cambrian, gau, yn dilyn difrod helaeth yn dilyn tân. Ar ôl hynny doed y Drenewydd ddim bellach yn ganolfan o bwys ar gyfer y diwydiant gwlân a mudodd nifer o weithwyr i geisio gwaith mewn llefydd eraill. Cafodd cwmni Pryce-Jones lwyddiant parhaus nes i ddirwasgiad y 1920au a’r 1930au ddod ar eu traws, a gwerthwyd y busnes i gwmni o Lerpwl ym 1938. ld to a
