Brymbo (SJ28495384)
History
The Works was built in 1792 by John Wilkinson to smelt ore from the Minera mines.
Current remains
Fumes from the furnaces were condensed for re-smelting in chambers at the base of the 100ft chimney. It was known locally as the Brymbo Bottle and partly demolished in 1962 to leave only 25ft still standing.
