Glofa Gresffordd
Pwll glo ger Wrecsam yw Glofa Gresffordd, rhan o Faes Glo Gogledd Cymru, sydd bellach wedi'i gau. Mae'n enwog am y drychineb a ddigwyddodd ar 22 Medi, 1934, pan gafodd 266 o bobl eu lladd trwy ffrwydrad nwy yn y pwll. Mae hi'n un o'r trychinebau pyllau glo mwyaf erchyll yn hanes gwledydd Prydain. Roedd mynediad y pwll ger pentref Y Pandy, Gresffordd, lle mae cofeb i'r digwyddiad yn sefyll heddiw.

Digwyddodd y drychineb yn ystod y sifft nos, pan oedd tua 500 o lowyr yn gweithio dan y ddaear, llawer ohonynt yn gweithio sifftiau dwbl. Lladdwyd 266 o fechgyn. Hyd heddiw, does neb yn gwybod beth achosodd y ffrwydrad nwy a laddodd cymaint ohonynt. Bu'n rhaid cau'r lofa lle digwyddodd y drychineb am gryn amser rhag ofn y digwyddai ffrwydriadau eraill ac o ganlyniad bu raid gadael 254 o gyrff yn y pwll. Ailagorwyd y pwll chwech mis yn ddiweddarach, heblaw am ran "Denis" y pwll lle digwyddodd y damwain.
Gadawai'r glowyr a gollodd eu bywydau weddwon a phlant. Casglwyd dros £566,500 mewn cronfa arbennig a sefydlwyd gan Faer Wrecsam ar eu cyfer.
