Llay, Denbighshire

Flower Delivery to Llay – A Village that Is Part of Wrexham County Borough in Wales

A former coal mining village, Llay housed one of the largest collieries in Wales prior to the 1960s: the Llay Main Colliery. The colliery was a major employer in the area before the coal reserves were depleted in 1966.

The village of Llay borders the villages of Gwersyllt and Gresford.

HISTORY

In medieval records, Llay was labelled as a hamlet, which is a small settlement without a church. The village belonged to the township and manor of Burton. Llay also formed part Gresford for some time but it became a separate parish in 1944.

Although Llay was a slow-growing village, it did experience a boom due to the coal mines. Sir Arthur Markham, an industrialist, established the Llay Main Colliery in 1913. However, the First World War interrupted the sinking of the shafts and shortly after, in 1916, Markham died. Work on the coal mines continued though and it was completed in 1921 but it wasn't until 1923 that operations started.
