North Wales Coalfield

19th-century British coalfields

The North Wales Coalfield comprises the Flintshire Coalfield in the north and the Denbighshire Coalfield in the south.^[1] It extends from Point of Ayr in the north, through the Wrexham area to Oswestry in Shropshire in the south.

A much smaller area on Anglesey where coal was formerly mined is not usually considered to form a part of the North Wales Coalfield, though it is geographically in the North Wales region.
