Message:		Annwyl Gyfaill, Diolch am y cwestiynnau am yr enwau Northgate Street a Stryd Pedwar a Chwech. Northgate Street i ddechrau; mae hon fel y gwyddoch o fewn Waliau'r Dref a orffennwyd yn 1290 ac nid oedd mynedfa i fewn i'r stryd bryd hynny a rhywbryd tua 1820 y gwnaed mynedfa i'r stryd trwy dorri twll yn y wal. Yr enw ar y stryd oedd Stryd y Plas neu Palace Street gan ei bod, cyn creu mynedfa, yn rhan o Palace Street. Roedd Stryd y Plas/Palace Street on rhedeg o Bendeitsh i lawr hyd at y fynedfa, hynny yw un stryd ac nid dwy. Cafodd Stryd Pedwar a Chwech yr enw Cymraeg am fod tafarn o'r enw Four Shillings and Six Pence yn bodoli yn Northgate Street ar un adeg ac roedd yn rhan o'r dafarn a elwir yn Black Boy heddiw. Dwy dafarn oedd yno ar un adeg sef rhif 7 a rhif 9 Northgate Street. Yn fyr dyna'r esboniad er fod llawer mwy o hanes i'r Black Boy na hynny. Cofion, T Meirion Hughes
