Editing Mostyn (section)

==History==
Mostyn was mentioned in the [[Doomsday Book]] of 1086. [[Henry Bolingbroke]] (later Henry IV) landed here in 1399 before attacking [[Richard II]] at [[Flint Castle]]. Coal was mined at [[Mostyn Colliery]] and iron production started in the mid nineteenth century. The combination of a colliery, iron works and the docks made this a profitable enterprise. Nineteen hundred people were employed at one time. The coal eventually became exhausted and the ironworks closed in 1965. 
Between 1848 and 1966 there was a [[Mostyn railway station|railway station]] in the village on the [[North Wales Coast Line|Chester to Holyhead line]]. Mostyn once served as a port from which ferries used to sail (until 2004) to [[Dublin]] on the Liverpool-Dublin route. Today, manufactured wings for the [[Airbus A380]] aircraft leave Mostyn on the ship ''[[Ville de Bordeaux]]'', after travelling down the River Dee by barge from the Airbus wing factory at [[Broughton, Flintshire]]. See [[Itinéraire à Grand Gabarit]] for more details of the transportation. Mostyn's port area is home to the headquarters of Warwick International Group Limited, manufacturers of bleach activators for detergent applications.
