Present Day
The village is currently undergoing regeneration and redevelopment works, in the form of private housing estates on the former steelworks site, though financial difficulties have impacted on the development since plans were originally submitted. The village also has two football clubs, Brymbo F.C. (formerly Brymbo Steelworks FC, several times winners of the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area)), and recently-formed Miners Arms Brymbo FC.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“I shun father and mother and wife and brother when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the door-post, Whim. I hope that it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
