Bu’r Dinas Arms yn cael ei adnabod fel ‘Yr Hotel’, ac aelodau’r teulu Owen we’n byw yno fel ‘Edith yr Hotel’ neu ‘Tommy’r Hotel’, ayb….

Bu William a Catherine Davies yn cadw’r dafarn yn fwy ddiweddar.  Buon nhw yn y Sailors Return cyn hynny.  Dilynwyd William a Catherine yn y Dinas Arms gan eu merch Eleanor, a’i gwr, Howard Reynolds. Nhw oedd yno yn 1958, yn sicr. Wedi marwolaeth  Eleanor yn 1974, daeth y teulu McDonald i gadw’r dafarn.

Pan adawodd y teulu McDonald, rhoddwyd y gorau i werthu cwrw yn y ‘Dinas Arms’. Bu sôn mawr am ledu’r ffordd a’r angen i ddymchwel yr adeilad. Daeth y cynlluniau i gyd i ddim.

The Dinas Arms was known as ‘The Hotel’, and the Owen family who lived there were known as ‘Edith the Hotel’ or ‘Tommy the  Hotel’ etc….

William and Catherine Davies kept the pub more recently. They were in the Sailors Return before that. William and Catherine were followed in the Dinas Arms by their daughter Eleanor, and her husband, Howard Reynolds. They were certainly there in 1958. After Eleanor’s death in 1974, the McDonald family came to live at the Dinas Arms.

When the McDonald family left, the ‘Dinas Arms’ stopped trading. There was talk of widening the road and demolishing  the building. The scheme came to nothing.

We have several names for photo no 4 – see left.
