This sewing machine, dated 1897, came from the Hay on Wye workhouse which was built in 1837 on the south side of St Mary’s Road. Hard and tedious work was an essential part of the workhouse regime. For women this included tasks associated with running the house, including sewing and weaving. Daeth y peiriant gwnïo hwn, dyddiedig 1897, o wyrcws y Gelli Gandryll a adeiladwyd ym 1837 ar ochr ddeheuol Ffordd y Santes Fair. Roedd gwaith uchel a diflas yn rhan hanfodol o drefn y wyrcws. I fenywod roedd hyn yn cynnwys tasgau oedd yn gysylltiedig â chynnal y tŷ, gan gynnwys gwnïo a gwehyddu.
