All Saints, Southsea
The church was formerly the church hall, but the original church had to be demolished. About 40 miles from the nearest sea, the village was named in the rate books of 1786, deriving its name from the Southsea Inn in Broughton. ..... Here the wages of the miners and colliers at most of the works in the neighbourhood were paid once a fortnight. http://www.clwydfhs.org.uk/churches/Southsea/

Southsea near Wrexham
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).
