The old market town of Wrexham (Wrecsam in Welsh) is located on the Clywedog river, where the hills of North Wales meet the Cheshire plains. Although not mentioned in the domesday book, there were references to Wrexham as early as 1161 when there was a Norman Castle at 'Wristlesham', Documents from the 17th century also suggest that there were thriving markets held in Wrexham every Tuesday and Thursday as early as 1620. The church of St. Giles dates back to 1740, and is one of the finest old Gothic buildings in North Wales.
The town’s industrial past includes Brewing, Leather Tanning and Paper Milling, however today there is much more diversification and many household names have set up industrial premises here including Kellogg's, JCB, Duracell, Pirelli, Sharp, Brother, Cadbury, and Flexsys. Tourism is also making an impact here these days because of the easy access to the North Wales coastal towns, the mountains of Snowdonia and the historic town of Chester.
The town centre has all the usual big names in the retail sector but there are many smaller shops selling a large range of goods. Wrexham is rich in sports and entertainment venues as befits the ‘capital of North Wales’ including a Tennis complex, first class football and Rugby facilities and teams as well as museums and art galleries.
