How charming! As an American, this feels like a combination of a small city, but also a small town vibe, as well as a tourist destination _and_ a big sports team. How they managed that so quaintly and modernly is quite remarkable.
We are officially a city now but I always see Wrexham as a town. We are not as big as cities such as Liverpool or Manchester by a long way! I will be doing a part 2 or maybe even part 3 to this as I don't have all the town in.
Thing is, Wrexham is a shell of its former self. This town about 15 to 20 years ago was absolutely booming. Especially on the weekend and on a Monday when market was held. It’s sad to see how it’s become. I hope one day we can get it back to how it used to be or at least as close as we can.
My wife and I visited last Sept and it was awesome. We had a couple of pints in the TURF PUB and met some really nice people. I would highly recommend a visit. We simply took the train from Liverpool and it was cheap and a easy, relaxing way to go to Wrexham for the day. ❤🍻🏴
The Turf pub doing so well from visitors! You will have to visit again and see the Phil Parkinson mural that was painted on the side gate of the building of the Turf.
Thanks for showing this look at the town! As an American, I'm interested in how there are so many differences yet so many similarities. The one store where everything is valued at a pound (I presume) is similar to our Dollar Tree and Dollar Store (where everything nearly is $1 in value). The McDonald's fast food spot on the corner, yet isn't dressed up like ones here in America. All the people shopping or moving along with their day downtown.
The bus station - how far out do they go? Here in America buses tend to be restricted to the town/city they are in though some cases there are "county bus" routes that take you from one town to another nearby (usually within 25 miles of each other).
Yeah the pound shops similar to those and the Mcdonalds was here before I was born and always looked like that on the outside ( I think). Although the inside has been changed with automated machines to order your food. The buses are mostly local but do go into England ( Chester), they go to Denbigh which is 25 miles away and places like Barmouth which is hour and half on the coast, which might be the furthest.
The McDonald's used to be Crane's. They sold pianos but that was 70 years ago when Wrexham was a thriving market town.
I've seen old photos of Wrexham and it used to look so busy!
I bought a few lottery tickets. If i win I'm visiting wrexham in my superyacht.
Well you might not fit a super yacht on the River Gwenfro lol, maybe you could moor it in Mostyn or someplace! LOL
1st :-) ty
