ARP stands for Air Raid Precautions team. The demand for precision steel
rose as rearmament occurred in the late 1930s. This led to the reopening
of Brymbo Steelworks, after its closure during the Great Depression. The
Steelworks was part of the war effort and the ARP team had a vital role
to play during air raids.
