A photo of the spectacular firework finale to the Underneath the Arches event at the Ponty Aqueduct has been voted the July winner in the Wonders of Wrexham 2018 Calendar.

Geraint Roberts who took the photograph said: “I knew when I took the photograph that it was a great shot. Underneath the Arches is a spectacular event with a brilliant firework finale. I encourage everyone to keep on sending in those photographs particularly as we are now into the summer holidays and everyone will be out and about more.”

The Wonders of Wrexham 2018 Calendar competition was launched at the beginning of November by Wrexham Council following the news that North Wales is ranked fourth in the world of regions to visit.

The aim of the competition is to find the photograph taken by an a amateur photographer which captures the essence of the month of entry.
