Brymbo history

---

Brymbo, possibly from the Welsh Bryn baw (“mud hill” or “dirt hill”) first appears in records in 1339. In 1410, the burgesses of Holt were granted the right to dig for coal in the wastes of “Harwd” and Coedpoeth. The late eighteenth century saw an expansion in activity in the area, particularly after the industrialist John “Iron-Mad” Wilkinson purchased the estate and began developing its estate, mining coal and ironstone and building an ironworks.
