context_page_description: Brymbo is a large village and local government community, the lowest tier of local government, in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. It lies in the hilly country to the west of Wrexham town, largely surrounded by farmland.
  At the 2001 Census, the population of the community area was 3,482, increasing to 4,836 at the 2011 Census. Brymbo is also the name of an electoral ward of Wrexham County Borough, whose population was 2,653 at the 2001 census, increasing to 3,981 at the 2011 Census.
  The area was formerly heavily dependent on coal mining and steelmaking, and the Brymbo Steelworks, which operated between 1794 and 1990, was a prominent feature of the village and much of the surrounding area. The area had a strong community spirit and at least three major railways were present.
