Doesn't Wrexham Lager deserve a mention?--JBellis 21:19, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes- I've put a stub in for this but couldn't remember the date of closure. It needs somebody with better knowledge to fill in the gaps. Velela 11:14, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Churches

I think it is a bit misleading to descrbe St Giles as "Wrexham's main Church". I think "Wrexham's main Anglican church" would be better, as Wrexham also has a Roman Catholic Cathedral known as "Our Lady of Sorrows", or "St Mary's", which also has a large congregation, and is the main church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wrexham, which extends over much of North Wales.

[edit] Too negative!

Most of this artice sems to give a negative view of Wrexham (a lot of space is give over to the riots, far more than it needs). I think some parts need to be re-written.

I would agree, but we aren't trying to 'sell' Wrexham to anyone, just tell it like it is. Born Acorn 11:49, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Does anyone have any pictures of Wrexham they'd be willing to upload? I could do it myself, but just checking.

[edit] Wrexham - town vs county borough

Please remember that this is an article on the town of Wrexham and should contain information about the town only. There is a separate article on the county borough of Wrexham which can include information on other parts of the county borough! -- Maelor  13:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC) More positive about this great town.

[edit] local areas

More information is needed here.

[edit] Population

The introduction currently states: "The town itself has a population of 43,000 and is thus the largest town in North Wales. The surrounding county borough has a population of 109,300." This can't be right - the council website states that the population of the entire county borough is (2004 est.) 130,200 extrapolated from the 2001 census figure of 128,476. If you go from the councils' ward map can someone say which wards actually comprise the town area? Brynffynnon? New Broughton? Coedpoeth? Then you can go to the census data and work out the actual town population. -- Arwel (talk) 21:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Annie Lennox

I would like to know where u found out that Annie Lennox lived in coedpoeth who in their right mind would want to live in that shithole. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 0555 (talk) 20:10, 28 March 2007 (UTC).
