GOLVTYN, a township, in the parish of NORTHOP, Northop division of the hundred of COLESHILL, county of FLINT, NORTH WALES,
4 miles (S. E.) from Flint, containing 289 inhabitants. In Domesday-book this township was called Ulfmilsione. It is
situated on the ;estuary of the Dee, near the mouth of the new channel for that river, which was cut through the sands
from Chester, and extends over a large portion of these sands, which are dry at low water, and capable of being brought
into cultivation at a moderate expense. A large quay and pier were constructed here, some years since, by the Irish Coal
Company, from which vessels sail regularly for Liver' ool, London, Dublin, and the ports of North and South Wales.
Considerable employment in the fishery being afforded to the inhabitants, the population has latterly increased. There is
a place of worship for Calvinistic Methodists. Golvtyn was formerly assessed with Weppre for the maintenance of the poor.
