About

Stori Brymbo (Welsh for '[the] Brymbo story') is a heritage centre under construction in Brymbo, Wrexham, North Wales. Located on the site of the former Brymbo Steelworks, it encompasses old buildings of the steelworks and the Brymbo Fossil Forest, a site of special scientific interest containing fossils from more than 300 million years ago. A heritage project to develop the former steelworks site first received funding in 2013, with further funding awarded in 2017.

The council approved the project's hopes to bid for lottery funding in 2020, with it receiving £10 million by 2024. Planning permission was granted and work began in mid 2024, for a June 2026 opening. The attraction is to include a visitor centre, a cafe, art and retail space, an exhibition space and a building to view excavations of the fossil forest.

The site's Grade II* former agent’s house, scheduled monument-designated pattern makers' workshop and 1920s machine shop would also be developed. While a community parkland called the "Lodge Valley Park" would also be developed nearby on the other side of Phoenix Drive.
