This Avery Hardoll petrol pump was patented in 1928 and made in Surrey. It was located in the Watton, Brecon. Motoring was increasingly popular in the 1930s and pumps like this would have been located outside shops and pubs to meet demand. A litre of fuel would have cost around 2p. Cafodd y pwmp petrol Avery Hardoll hwn ei batentio ym 1928 a'i wneud yn Surrey. Fe'i lleolid yn y Watton, Aberhonddu. Roedd moduro yn fwyfwy poblogaidd yn yr 1930au a byddai pympiau fel hyn wedi'u gosod y tu allan i siopau a thafarndai i ateb y galw. Byddai litr o danwydd wedi costio tua 2c.
