More about this scene

The Civic Centre in Connah's Quay, one of several buildings laid out as a formal civic area, was began in 1960, with the stone being laid by the steel magnate John F Summers; the Summers family, while benefiting immensely from the production of steel, were also great benefactors in this area. These buildings, along with a library and others, form a self-conscious expression of municipal pride that was common with the advent of the 1960s.
