Ruth has been in touch to share memories of the former Brymbo Steelwork. She writes: "My grandad used to work the night shift. The back of his house faced on to the steelworks. I would fall asleep listening to the humming and screeching. When it closed, I could not sleep, the nights were silent and dead."
´óÏó´«Ã½ Wales NE website has set up a mini site to collect people's memories like Kevin, who has made a short film about the works. He says: "Skilled men were reduced to re-training and re-start initiatives, and the once proud community crumbled. We cannot live our lives in the past, what is more we cannot let our children live in our own past. I can't change my past, but I can let it have a positive effect on my own and my children's future."
