This muddy creek used to be Flint Dock, built in the 1800's to help export Halkyn Mountain lead. Soon after, Flint Marsh Colliery began exporting their coal from here, a timber and boat yard developed beside the leadworks. A chemical works was also built here, making the dock one of the busiest along the Dee.
