In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Greenfield like this:
GREENFIELD, a township in Holywell parish, Flint; gear Holywell. Real property, £7, 891; of which £265 are in quarries, £1, 200 in mines, £241 in railways, and £250 in gas works. Pop., 2, 112.
The location is that named as "Greenfield", or Treffynnon, on the modern 1:25,000 map and, somewhat illegibly, on the OS 1st Series map.
