According to the 19th century returns (Burt et al 1992), the Creigiog Mining Co Ltd operated from 1884-1887 in the vicinity of Cefn-Coed. A single shaft mound and possible whim remains overgrown at SJ20355590. A second shaft lies on the edge of woodland at
SJ20555570. These two shafts appear on the 1st edition OS of 1874.
