Brymbo Heritage

Brymbo Heritage is concerned with spaces and buildings, their meaning, and the sense of community pride and identity that stems from their use in people's everyday lives. Its mission is to sustainably return the former iron and steelworks complex at Brymbo near Wrexham to positive uses as a visitor attraction, learning hub, small business centre and focus for community events.    The complex and its associated landscape are known as Brymbo Heritage Area, the freehold ownership of which will transfer to the Trust from its current private owner at no cost on condition that appropriate capital funding is secured.    Brymbo Heritage is registered with the Charities Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and is pursuing registration as a Building Preservation Trust and as a Community Development Organisation. It uses the social enterprise model to trade in order to deliver its charitable aims.    It was created in 2016 by the management committee of Brymbo Heritage Group, a constituted community group established in the 1990s. The group first articulated their vision for Brymbo's heritage to be told through its built and natural landscape in 2005 shortly after the discovery of a fossilised forest within the boundary of the former works. In 2012 that vision was the subject of a detailed feasibility study to consider the scope for the area to become a vibrant, heritage-led, mixed use destination, with encouraging results. A condition survey followed, along with a successful application to the Heritage Lottery Fund to deliver a three year programme of community engagement and planning over the period 2014-2016. The Trust has been formed as a result of extensive planning over that period.
