'Signs of Change'

40 years ago 22 Welsh language campaigners stormed the High Court in London as part of their protest for bilingual road signs. Today it's hard to imagine the Welsh 'landscape' devoid of Welsh signs, but thats how it was in 1970.

In 'Signs of Change', Radio 4 looks back at the language campaign of that period, and hears from some of the main players and those who were imprisoned following the High Coutt protest

  2. Digwydd bod (as it happens) wnes i glywed cyfweliad (interview) efo'r boi wnaeth beintio'r slogan yna - Meic Stephens (not the singer but the writer...and father of Huw Stephens the DJ). Wnaeth o ddysgu Cymraeg fel oedolyn (as an adult), a wnaeth o anghofio treiglo (mutate) yr enw 'Tryweryn' ar ôl yr 'wch'! Ond wnaeth rhywun ei newid o i 'Dryweryn' nes ymlaen (later on).
