Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Ruabon

The Wynnstay Arms is a hotel and public house in Ruabon, Wales. The Grade II listed building dates from the 18th-century and was a coaching inn. Meetings of the Football Association of Wales were held in the hotel in the 19th century shortly after the organisation was founded in the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham. Description Located in Ruabon, opposite St. Mary's Church, between Park Street and High Street, it currently serves as a public house and 12-bedroomed hotel run by Robinsons Brewery. The three-storey Park Street exterior is of dark orange brick in Flemish-bond under a slate roof. The central bay has a hipped roof and tripartite sashes. The interior of the building has been substantially remodelled, although earlier forms of the building's plan survive on its upper floors. History The building dates to the 18th century, when it was originally a coaching inn. The building may have incorporated an earlier structure into its design, and the building was enlarged in 1841. Behind the building is the 18th century stable block, which still stands today. In May 1876, the constitution and name of the Football Association of Wales was agreed during a meeting in the hotel. The meeting was called by a Ruabon solicitor, Llewelyn Kenrick, who became the association's first president. Two and a half hours of the meeting was dedicated to deliberating a goal the Wrexham club had scored against Northwich, which disputed the goal. This objection was over-ruled with changes made to football rules. This Ruabon meeting followed a meeting in February 1876, at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel in Wrexham, where the idea of a Welsh footballing organisation was first raised. During the Victorian era, utilising the building's centuries-long purpose as a community activity hub, the pub was the meeting place of the Association for Prosecution of Felons' local branch, which encouraged witnesses to come forward following crimes, including offers of rewards for information. Various chess matches were held in the building, with Joseph Blackburne, a professional chess player, giving an exhibition of his skill, in the building in 1897. By 2015, there were reports of paranormal activity in the building. References Further reading Cadw – For a full architectural description
Feathers Hotel, Wrexham

The Feathers Hotel is a former pub and coaching inn in Wrexham city centre, North Wales. First known as The Plume of Feathers, the building was popular with drovers heading to Wrexham's Beast Market. The inn was remodelled in the mid-19th century to extend its frontage onto an adjacent property on Chester Street. It closed as a pub in 2001, and has since been converted into a grocery shop and apartments. Description The two-storey building was formerly a coaching inn, with remnants of the stables and coach house present behind the building, in painted brickwork and with a slate roof. Such remnants include a small round window in the side wall at the rear of the building used to transfer hay from a large hay wagon directly to the hay loft within the building. It was originally known as "The Plume of Feathers" and was owned by the Meredith family for over 200 years, with the building dating to possibly c. 1630. The inn was located on a popular throughfare for drovers to Wrexham's Beast Market. Prior to the railway reaching Wrexham, stagecoaches operated from the inn. It was known as the Feathers Inn by 1848, while the name "The Prince of Wales" is also attached to the building. The current design of the building dates to a c. 1850 – c. 1860 remodelling, where the newly added façade was extended onto a pre-existing adjoining property, No. 62 Chester Street. Although No. 62 is separately roofed, with its gable appearing to be originally built facing the street and a parapet forms a partial false wall at its first floor level. No. 62 also houses the entrance to the present-day grocery shop, while the original building also retains their entrance. Both central entrances are recessed in an architrave. There are three upper windows in each of the two properties. Therefore, the building's current continuous frontage covers two original properties, which are two-storeyed and covered in original brickwork. The shop front dates to the late 19th century. The structure and some elements of the original building have survived and they suggest the building was once timber-framed. The gable end of the building would have probably faced the street, with its roofline at a right angle to the street. During the Victorian era, the building's stable yard was large enough to cater for 30 horses at the same time. In 1875, following the death of James Armstrong of the Feathers Hotel, leaving his widow and seven small children with little resources, a benefit concert was held in Wrexham to raise money for the bereaved family. By 1892, the building was owned by William Tickle, who greatly involved himself in the social life of Wrexham, leading to local societies holding their meeting inside the building. The pub in the building closed in 2001, with the building later becoming fully refurbished and home to a clothes shop for a few years. The building is now (as of 2023) a Polish grocery store, with the upper floors converted into apartments. See also Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham References

Grosvenor Lodge (later 1 Grosvenor Road) is a Grade II listed building on Regent Street and Grosvenor Road, in Wrexham, North Wales. It was built in 1869 by J.R. Gummow and is in an Italianate villa style. It was initially a private residence for Isacc Shone, later mayor of Wrexham. It was purchased by Wrexham council in 1924, in which it became initially an office, then later a medical clinic until the 1990s. It underwent a restoration in 2001. History The building is situated on the corner of Regent Street and Grosvenor Road, opposite Wrexham Cathedral. Grosvenor Lodge was built in 1869 as a residence for Isaac Shone, who became Mayor of Wrexham in 1878. It was designed by J.R. Gummow, a local architect, who is credited with most of the suburban development in the southern parts of Wrexham in the 19th century. Shone lost his council seat in 1879 and thereafter vacated the residence and moved to London. It also served as the home of Robert Graesser and his family. In the early 1900s, the building became home to Wrexham's first female doctor, Katharine Rosebery Drinkwater, who moved to Wrexham, after her marriage to a local GP. She became the Assistant School Medical Officer for Wrexham in 1907. In 1924, the building was bought by Wrexham council from the executors of Shone's will. The council then repurposed the building to be first used as office space and then later as a health clinic until the 1990s. It was listed as a Grade II listed building by Cadw in 1991. In 2001, a full restoration of the building was carried out. As of 2024, the building is home to Cafcass Cymru. Until 1959, the Royal Welch Fusiliers War Memorial stood outside the building until its relocation to Chester Street. Description The building is designed in a Italianate villa style, which was described as "Anglo-Italian" by its architect Gummow. Its exterior is made of brick, while it contains a slate roof. The lodge is two storeys high, with its main elevations being its two-window Regent Street entrance front, and a symmetrical five-window (in 1–3–1) range facing Regent Street. There is a lower service wing recessed to the building's rear containing hipped roof, a side entrance, and above it a tripartite sash window, and moulded wood bracketed oversailing-eaves. After its initial construction a three-storeyed and hipped roof tower was added to the building. The building's entrance is located to the right of the building situated in an advanced porch and within a segmental archway, shaped in a round arch with panelled double doors.

The Talbot, Wrexham

The Talbot is a former pub and hotel in Wrexham city centre, North Wales. It was built and opened by 1905 replacing an older inn also known as The Talbot or the Talbot Inn. The current building consists of a polygonal Tudor Revival façade structure and is situated in between Wrexham's Hope Street and Queen Street, with the building also extending further across Queen Street. A hotel styled as the Talbot Hotel also operated on the first floor of the building. It stopped operating as a pub and hotel in 1966, later being converted into retail space (now Boots Opticians), although part of the building briefly served as a bar known as The Talbot in 2008. Description It is a three-storeyed polygonal corner building with outer gables facing and situated between Hope Street and Queen Street, with it extending as a lower two-storeyed four-gabled range along Queen Street. It has half-timbered walling with a polygonal red plain tiled roof and has a Tudor Revival façade, and is one of the few built and later remaining Tudor-faced buildings in Wrexham with other similar-designed buildings later demolished. It is a grade II listed building. The building was designed by John H. Davies and Son of Chester, although M. J. Gummow who designed the Poyser Street drill hall, is also accredited with designing plans for the building. The end wall stacks are made with enriched brickwork, using a standard type designed by Douglas and Fordham for production by Ruabon-based J. C. Edwards. The building is said to be one of the most photographed buildings of Wrexham, and is used to promote Wrexham such as by local politicians, as a local landmark. History In March 1888, the older inn was acquired by F. W. Soames & Co for £4250 (equivalent to £477,604 in 2025) and the old pub was demolished. The older pub was also known as "The Talbot" or the "Talbot Inn" in older photographs. By August 1904, an agreement was signed between Rev. John Ollerhead and J. W. Soames on a larger rebuilding of the hotel. The building was rebuilt in 1904–05, into a larger building than the original and became a hotel on the first and second floor with an extra shop on the ground floor. Mr Soames of Soames Brewery (later Border Breweries) held some yearly events for his employees in the building. The Talbot Inn Hotel stayed open until 1966 and is now retail space, recently being occupied as of 2019 by Boots Opticians. Although the name The Talbot was retained by a bar located in the building's basement, which briefly openly operated as a bar and music venue between 2008 and 2009. References

Abergavenny Town Hall

Abergavenny Town Hall (Welsh: Neuadd y Dref Y Fenni) is a municipal building located on Cross Street, Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, Wales. The town hall, which also houses the town's market, is a Grade II listed building. History The first building on the site was a market hall which had been financed by a legacy from the local member of parliament, Philip Jones, and which was completed in the early 17th century. Following their appointment in 1794, one of the first acts of the new Abergavenny Improvement Commissioners was to commission a new market hall which was designed by the well-known Regency and Georgian era architect, John Nash, and completed in 1796. In the 1860s, in anticipation of a further increases in their responsibilities, including those of an urban sanitary authority, the commissioners decided to procure a town hall which would be built on the same site. Construction of the new building, which was built with old red sandstone with Bath limestone and slate roofs, started in 1869. It was designed by Wilson and Willcox of Bath in the Gothic Revival style, built by S. J. Moreland and Sons of Gloucester and completed in 1871. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Cross Street; the central section featured an archway leading to a market hall flanked by two gothic windows on each side. There were five two-light sash windows divided by Corinthian order columns on the first floor and there was a clock tower with a copper roof at the north west corner. The building incorporated a corn exchange, municipal offices, a council chamber, a market hall, an assembly room and the local poor law offices. The assembly room was converted for use as a theatre in 1906 and subsequent performers there included the rock band, The Beatles, who gave a concert in June 1963. The building served as the headquarters of the Abergavenny Urban District Council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be local seat of government when the enlarged Monmouth District Council was formed in 1974. Abergavenny Town Council, which was formed in 1981, made the building its home and installed two members of staff there. Subsequent improvements included the modernisation of the theatre in 1996. The cattle market, which had been held on the site for over 150 years, moved to Bryngwyn in Monmouthshire in December 2013. Other types of market continued to be held in the building, including a flea market which continued to be held there every Wednesday. A programme of works, designed by GWP Architecture and costing £2.2 million, to convert the building into a community hub was completed in September 2020. References
Tollgate House, Mitchel Troy

Tollgate House, near the village of Mitchel Troy in Monmouthshire, Wales, is a tollhouse dating from the early 19th century. Attributed to the architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville, it is a Grade II listed building. History and description In the Early modern period, before responsibility for the construction and maintenance of roads was transferred to local government, roadbuilding was undertaken as a private commercial activity by turnpike trusts. The trusts built the roads, under agreements made with local landowners and with the sanction of private Acts of Parliament, and recouped the construction and maintenance costs by the raising of tolls. To enable the collection of the tolls, tollhouses were built, frequently at the junctions of roads, which provided accommodation for a toll-keeper and were designed to enable them to man gates placed at the junctions at which tolls were collected from users of the roads. The 18th and 19th centuries saw a huge expansion in the construction of toll roads in Wales and elsewhere, as the demands of industry and commerce drove a need for greatly improved communication routes. South Wales experienced particularly rapid expansion, due to the burgeoning coal and iron industries. The toll road from Monmouth into South Wales was constructed in the early 19th century and Tollgate House at Mitchel Troy, the first tollhouse on the road out of the town, was built in around 1810. The design is attributed to Sir Jeffry Wyatville by Cadw, although the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales (RCAHMW) goes no further than to note that Wyatville did design toll houses along the route. The building is a rough rectangle, with three bays giving easy sight out to the approaching roads. Unusually, it is of two-storeys, as tollhouses were more commonly single-storey structures. It is built of local whitewashed stone. Tollgate House is a Grade II listed building. Footnotes References
Llanfair Grange

Llanfair Grange, Nant-y-derry, Monmouthshire is a country house dating from the 18th century. It was extensively remodelled in the early 19th century in a Neoclassical style. In the mid-20th century, the grange was owned by Harry Llewellyn, who founded the Foxhunter stud at the house, named after his most famous horse. The Grange was the childhood home of his two sons, Dai and Roddy. The house, a Grade II listed building, remains a private residence and was sold in August 2021. History and description The origins of the house are believed to date from the 18th century. In the early 19th century, a large new block, in a Neoclassical style, was added to the front of the original house. The entrance frontage is of three storeys, while the rest of the building to the rear is of two storeys. The pillared porch was constructed as part of a remodelling of the frontage of the house, undertaken in the early 20th century. The house was bought by Harry Llewellyn in the late 1940s. He established a stud at the grange, named after his most famous mount, Foxhunter, on which Llewellyn won Britain's only Gold medal at the 1952 Summer Olympics. The grange was the childhood home of Llewellyn's two sons, Dai, a socialite, and Roddy, a landscape gardener. Roddy Llewellyn's affair with Princess Margaret in the 1970s, and his brother's commentary upon it, led to a long rupture in their relations. Llanfair Grange remains a private residence and was designated a Grade II listed building in 1993. In August 2021 the house was sold. Notes References
