Holy fucking shit. How has my tiny Welsh town made it here? I live near Mold (Yr Wyddgrug in Welsh), AMA I guess
Btw, in England it’s spelt mould, as in black mould, phonetically it still works though
Does Yr Wyddgrug translate to mold?
It translates to “The Mound”. There’s an old motte and Bailey castle from the Norman conquests which I guess is where it got the name. I guess that’s also where the English name came from, just corrupted over the centuries.
How do you pronounce it in Welsh? I'm sad to see that it's not on this super cool map
This site has a pretty good pronunciation https://historypoints.org/index.php?page=mold-place-names
