- Cyhoeddwyd
Yn ddiweddar cyhoeddwyd bod tref Crug Hywel ym Mhowys wedi ennill gwobr Brydeinig yn dathlu'r stryd fawr.
Wrth gwrs, tu ôl i bob busnes bach llwyddiannus mae pobl, a dyma rai o'r bobl sydd yn gyfrifol am lwyddiant Crug Hywel.
Crickhowell in Powys was recently named the UK's best high street, amongst fierce competition from towns across the country.
It won because of its unique mix of independent shops and business and their contribution to the local population and economy.
But behind all successful business' are the people who own and run them, and here are some of the faces responsible for Crickhowell's success
Mae Emma Corfield-Walters yn greadur prin iawn erbyn hyn, hi yw perchennog siop lyfrau annibynnol Bookish. Mae hi hefyd wedi ennill gwobr Arwres y Stryd Fawr, gwobr ychwanegol i'r brif wobr, am ei chyfraniad unigol at lwyddiant y dref
Emma Corfield-Walters is indeed an endangered species as she owns and runs an independent bookshop called Bookish. She has also won this year's High Street Hero award, given for her individual effort in the town's success

Busnes teulu yw siop adrannol Nicholls, a ddechreuodd yn y dref yn 1925 yn gwerthu nwyddau amaethyddol. Ers hynny mae wedi datblygu i fod yn fusnes llwyddiannus a phrysur, fel mae Karen yn medru tystio...

Crickhowell is lucky to have not just one family owned department stores, but two!
Herbert Webb started Webbs in 1925, selling paraffin to the locals from the back of a van. He borrowed £10 from his mother to establish the business, paid her back after a week, and the rest is history
Mae Crug Hywel yn ffodus i gael nid dim ond un, ond dwy siop adrannol deuluol. Dechreuodd Herbert Webb fusnes Webbs yn 1936 yn gwerthu paraffin o gefn fan. Benthycodd £10 oddi wrth ei fam i gychwyn y busnes, dalodd hi'r swm yn ôl o fewn wythnos, ac mae'r gweddill yn hanes
Today Herbert's family still keep the flame burning...this is Mike, Herbert's youngest son on the phone keeping the wheels turning

... tra fod John, un o feibion eraill Herbert, yn adeilad arall siop Webbs. Dyma hen storfa ŷd sy'n dyddio o'r flwyddyn 1650 ond bellach yn gartref da i welyau Crughywel
Cashells Butchers have been on the high street for over 35 years
Mae siop cigydd Cashells wedi bod ar y stryd fawr ers dros 35 o flynyddoedd.
Maen nhw'n arbenigo mewn cynnyrch ffermydd lleol, gan gynnwys fferm Neuadd Fawr sy'n perthyn i'r teulu Rees sydd yn berchen ar Cashells
They specialise in produce sourced from local farms, including Neuadd Fawr farm, owned by the Rees family, who also own and run Cashells
