This railway embankment, alongside Wrexham Road, once carried a branch line to the nearby Oak Pits Colliery, and also on up to Coed Talon. The line was already in existence by the time of the 1872 O.S. map. The line was closed in the 1960s and, as can be seen, the bridge structure has been removed. Even more different is the view the opposite way where the embankment has been completely removed and the site is now an industrial park. There is a bench mark on the left hand side of the brickwork close to the dark vertical shadow-line Image
