Situated almost on the border between England and Wales, Wrexham
has a long and important history. In the past it was famous for its
coal, iron, steel, lead mining and leather industries. Today, it is
the largest town in North Wales and two of the Seven Wonders of
Wales are located in the area: St Giles' Church in Wrexham and
Gresford church just outside the town. In ‘A-Z of Wrexham’,
local author Christopher Davies explores various aspects of the
town’s history, but in order to make the book as comprehensive as
possible, he also focuses on the County Borough. This will allow
for broader comment on the effects of the Industrial Revolution in
the area, and the inclusion of nationally important buildings and
structures such as the eighteenth-century Erddig Hall, now cared
for by the National Trust, and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal
World Heritage Site. Fully illustrated throughout, this book
provides an engaging and informative guide to the rich heritage of
this part of North Wales. Readers will gain a fascinating insight
into Wrexham’s buildings, industry and the individuals who shaped
the area across the centuries.
