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.
