Southsea is a small formerly industrial village on the Gwenfro river. It came into being at the site of the Broughton Hall Brickworks and the Plas Power Colliery. Its exotic English name comes from the South Sea Inn which used to stand over the road from the Brickworks (and in a room of which the Brickworks pay was distributed).
