⚠️ Hazardous pay. Emergency response centre and medical wing of an abandoned bromine works in North Wales

Bromine is a hazardous chemical. To manage these risks, the site has an emergency response centre stocked with safety equipment.

Nearby is an on-site medic office

In the 1990s, the plant experienced a significant incident where the release of toxic bromine gas injured workers and forced local residents to stay indoors.

An abandoned rusting industrial ruin in North Wales.

This former industrial site was used to extract bromine. Established to produce fuel additives for leaded petrol, the works transitioned to bulk bromine and sulphuric acid production in the 1960s.

However, a major fire and a toxic gas leak in the 1990s left five people injured. The plant was decommissioned in the mid-2000s.
