Try Bridge Books first www.bridgebooks.co.uk/It is a very good book , full of interesting stories and information , not only about the miners, but the village life itself. Or it may be on sale in Waterstones. Be quick !!!! You can also get it here, you will have to use the search box. I don`t know how much postage may be. www.gwales.com/search_basic/ Miners of Llay Main, The £19.99 Author: Vic Tyler-Jones Hardback Available ISBN: 9781844940790 (1844940799) Publication Date December 2011 Publisher: Bridge Books The model village of Llay was built during the early part of the twentieth century, on agricultural land four miles north of Wrexham, to serve the newly constructed Llay Main colliery.
