Summary from Cymraeg / Welsh Wikipedia (cywiki)

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.
