    So the naming has now been done for the prison HMP Berwyn– unless my geography is wrong Berwyn is 15 miles west of the site and is located by the Chain Bridge in Llangollen.
    I pity the poor visitors who look if there is a station in ‘Berwyn’ and they get directed to the Llangollen Railway!! Llangollen Railway better invest in more rolling stock to cope with the numbers..or if you do a Google map from Wrexham to Berwyn it takes you on an hours drive through Oswestry and past Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant.
    By the time a visitor arrives their time slot for the visitors permit will have passed.
    Will be interesting to see what the full statement about the naming says and how it was decided.

    Speaking of Railway Stations. Perhaps the station in Wrexham will get a mention on that advert showing the cheap fares in Wales when the prison is open.

    The sooner you realise that Wrexham.com is not the fount of all knowledge and you use your erm…… intelligence to look elsewhere for information as well.Nine times out of ten, you would be able to answer your own questions without rushing to your keyboard.

    Do you honestly think that people who’s family members and friends are incarcerated, lack the intelligence to realise that HMP Berwyn will be located in Wrexham, whatever it’s called?

    I would like to think that your post was made in jest but the common sense part of me tells me otherwise.

    Thankfully people use the likes of Google to get directions and sat nav on their phones, cars, wrists and eyewear nowadays.

    Luckily if you type say “manchester to berwyn” in Google it directs you down past Oswestry to er, Berwyn!

    I have experienced confusion from people over Wroxham and Wrexham, and Wexham Park Hospital.

    Nowt stranger than folk and all that…

    Come off it AMA, you are applying logic now. That will never do on this thread.
    Haven’t you realised yet that if there is no problem, invent one – the stupider the better.

    The real problem is that this is yet another attempt to remove any semblance of Anglicised names from local Institutions. Odd how Colleges called Deeside and Yale became Cambria, the University, Glyndwr and now the prison Berwyn. I don’t actually have any problem naming places with Welsh names in general….this is Wales after all……it’s just that the ones in questions have stepped away from the logical geographical names for them as if to make a point. That then makes me think…..who is trying to make a point and to who.
