About Wrexham - show infohide info
Wrexham is an industrial town in the north east of Wales. It lies in the administrative county of the same name, though its traditional county is Denbighshire. Wrexham has a population of 43,000. There is evidence of prehistoric activity in the Wrexham area, in the discovery of a bronze age burial in nearby Brymbo. Evidence of Roman Occupation in Wrexham also exists, and was found during excavations prior to contruction of the Plas Coch retail centre outside the town. Despite this, Wrexham is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. It's first mention comes in 1161, by which time there was a motte and bailey castle at Wristlesham. Wrexham grew after the English Civil War thanks to its markets. Wrexham became a largely industrial town, and contained a number of industries. These included brickworks, steelworks, breweries and a number of coal mines nearby. While the vast majority of these have closed down, most have left their mark. A huge railway network previously existed in Wrexham in order to serve the various industries and the nearby villages, and evidence of sidings still exists, though today the towns rail network is much smaller. The removal of the rail network caused Wrexham to fall into a period of great decline, with a number of the industries closing down. Wrexham fell into crisis, as people wanted to move away but could find no buyers for property in an area with no employment. During the 1980's and 1990's, the Welsh Development Agency intervened to improve Wrexham's situation. They funded the A483 road, which bypassed the city centre and also provided a direct road link with Chester and Shrewsbury (in turn connecting to other cities). It also funded a number of shops and reclaimed land which was previously environmentally damaged by the coal mining industry. Several shops chose to set up in Wrexham, including BHS, Game and HMV, as well as fast food chains inluding McDonalds, Burger King and KFC. A large breakthrough for the development agency was the Wrexham Industrial Estate, which houses several big name companies including Kellogg's, JCB, Pirrelli and Duracell. The dual carriageway is being extended to the industrial estate, and completion is expected in 2011. Wrexham is served by rail. It has two stations, Wrexham Central and Wrexham General. Wrexham General is the main station, and sees services to Holyhead, Cardiff, Chester and Birmingham New Street. Wrexham Central sees services to Bidston, these services also call at Wrexham General. Nearby towns to Wrexham include Chester, Ellesmere Port, Crewe, Winsford, Mold, Buckley, Oswestry, Ruthin, Ruabon, Nantwich and Wem.
