Southsea, Wrexham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Southsea (Welsh: Glanrafon) is a small formerly industrial village on the Gwenfro river in the county of Wrexham.
It came into being at the site of the Broughton Hall Brickworks and the Plas Power Colliery. Its Welsh name (meaning the bank of the river) derives from that of a farm; its exotic English name comes from the Southsea Inn which used to stand over the road from the Brickworks (and in a room of which the Brickworks pay was distributed).
