The Brymbo Steel Works is a major feature surrounded by much of the village of Brymbo, including St John`s church (at top of map), Tai, Brymbo Colliery, The Green, and many railway tracks. The various (and confusing!) railways include GWR Wrexham & Minera line with The Lodge Halt, GCR Brymbo Branch with terminus, GCR Vron Branch and GWR Vron Branch. Other features include
Phosphate Works, Black Lane Colliery, Offa`s Dike, several old mine shafts, etc. Communities or areas include The Lodge, Cefn, Pen-rhos.
