We have published more than 2,100 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, including a group in Denbighshire / Clwyd. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. Each covers an area of a mile and a half by a mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. Or visit The Index Page for a full list to the series and details of Prices.
Here are the details of maps for Brymbo :

The Brymbo Steel Works is a major feature surrounded by much of the village of Brymbo, incl St John's church (at top of map), Tai, Brymbo Colliery, The Green, and many railway tracks.

Other features include Phosphate Works, Black Lane Colliery, Offa's Dike, several old mine shafts. Communities or areas include The Lodge, Cefn, Pen-rhos.
