View towards Brymbo (GWR) station and Wrexham to left, towards Vron Colliery to right. Brymbo Steelworks dominates the background. This a typical scene of heavy industry 50+ years ago.

Former Brymbo Library

Viewed across Dyke Street in September 2016. The Daily Post reported in January 2014 that Wrexham council's executive board had voted to shut Brymbo and Gresford libraries and reduce the hours of the remaining 10 libraries in the county by 19% to save cash in the face of £13.8 million cuts for 2014/2015.
