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:
“To complain of the age we live in, to murmur at the present possessors of power, to lament the past, to conceive extravagant hopes of the future, are the common dispositions of the greatest part of mankind.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust,... confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbors who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, aye, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of,—sitting there now at three o’clock in the afternoon, as if it were three o’clock in the morning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
