Moss Valley, Wrexham history
Thomas Telford
In 1796, a feeder reservoir lake was constructed in the Valley for an extension of the Ellesmere Canal. The canal would have eventually served as an extension from Trevor Basin. This plan was abandoned in 1798. Remnants of the canal are still visible in nearby Gwersyllt, and a street in the village is named Heol Camlas.
Collieries
The Moss Valley was home to the Westminster Colliery in its northern end, and Gatewen Colliery at the southern end. The colliery’s railways were linked to neighbouring Great Western Railway lines. This originally was the Wheatsheaf Branch which ran through the valley, then up a worked incline up Gwersyllt Hill. The line then continued through the other side of the valley through the 400 ft Brymbo Tunnel.
Recent history
In the early 1970s, the area was reclaimed as a country park by creating two lakes, a children’s playground, public amenities, a golf club and facilities for fishing. The area suffered decline by vandalism through the 1990s, but was heavily regenerated in the early 2000s. The original playground was demolished and replaced with a more modern facility.
