The X Site

by Tim Jones

This book will undoubtedly become the definitive work on the Ministry of Supply Factory, Rhydymwyn, near Mold, North Wales (aka Valley Works) and its important contribution to WWII and the part it might have played had events dictated.
Nestling in the Valley inbetween Denbigh & Mold is this former chemical manufacture and storage facility that, at its peak, employed some 1,700 people turning out tens of thousands of mustard gas shells. There are underground storage tunnels dug deep into the hillside and several buildings, now empty, that once bustled with more sinster activity including atomic experiments.
The author seeks not to sensationalise the subject, but to inform the reader and hopefully enable you to make better sense of the past and of the current situation, where it is intended to put the site to a safe end-use and write the final chapter in the history of the site.
