Southsea sits about two miles west of Wrexham city centre, tucked between the larger villages of Lodge and Broughton. Historically, the area was defined by its industrial backbone, largely centred on the nearby Plas Power Colliery which drove the local economy until its closure in the mid-20th century. Geographically, the village is shaped by the River Gwenfro, which flows through the valley and provides a natural green corridor that feels quite distinct from the urban sprawl of the city nearby. Most of the practical amenities, including the primary school and local shops, are concentrated around the main road through the village, while the sprawling Plas Power Woods offer extensive walking routes following the old railway lines. It’s a place that retains a quiet, residential character, benefiting from its proximity to the A483 for commuting into Cheshire or Shropshire, while remaining firmly rooted in the landscape of the old North Wales coalfield.
