Welcome To The Town Of Wrexham…

Town-Centre

The Town

Situated between the lower Dee valley and the Welsh mountains, Wrexham is the largest town in North Wales and has a population of over 42,000 according to recent survey. The wider County Borough of Wrexham has a population of over 140,000 , including the above figure.

The town is well-known for its strong history of being a market town. Currently the town has four markets; three of which are indoors, and the weekly outdoor Monday market which takes place on Queen’s Square.

Alongside the town’s market traditions, Wrexham town centre is built up of a mixture of independent retailers and big name brands. Just outside of the main town centre is Eagles Meadow Shopping Complex, which was built-in 2008. We have created a sub section to give further details on Eagles Meadow and its associated shops and services.

Otuside the town centre is the Wrexham Industrial Estate, which is one of the largest industrial estates in Europe, which is situated on the Eastern outskirts of the town. The site is home to around 300 businesses and employs roughly 7000 people.

Wrexham is also a medical centre for the area, with the Maelor Hospital being the largest around. On our Maelor page you can find contact details of the hospital, directions and the various wards and their opening hours.

Our transport section is small at the moment, only covering Wrexham Buses but we will be expanding it.

As well as Glyndwr University, Wrexham has several schools and Yale College. In 2013, Yale College merged together with Deeside College, to create Coleg Cambria.

The Wrexham Crematorium is Pentrebychan Crematorium is the main crematorium in Wrexham and is based on the site of the former Pentrebychan Hall. Details on the crematorium, directions, postcode and opening hours can be found by following the Wrexham Crematorium link.
