Born at Maelor hospital in 1946, while Dad on duty at North Fork Signal Box (just down the road), lived in Caia Road, Sister was first pupil at Yr Ysgol Gymraeg and Grove Park followed by me. Sat the 11 Plus twice on the same day; believe it or not, left at 15 years old and had no idea how complicated a place was Wrexham. Look out. I may be back.
It should be added that there was a lot of opposition to Wrexham becoming a city, with about 60% of the population wanting it to remain as a town. Very interesting video though with an interesting look at the history. One thing you didn't mention about Yale is that the local college was called Yale College (Coleg Ial) until 2013 when it merged with Deeside College to become Coleg Cambria. In the late 1990s, there was a legal battle between Yale College and Yale University over trademark infringment, after which our college legally had to be referred to as "Yale College Wrexham".
Missed the beast market where Saint Richard Gwyn was Hanged, drawn and quarter for high treason back in 1584 simply because he wouldn’t denounce being Catholic and become Protestant. His final words were Iesu, trugarha wrthyf!"" ("Jesus, have mercy on me") afterwards his head was put on a spike in Denbigh castle and the other three quarters were displayed in Wrexham, Ruthin castle and Holt Castle.
Thank you for the video. I'm from Doncaster but my mum was from Wrexham she moved to Yorkshire when she was 14 years old . 😊👍
A remarkably clean city 👍

Maybe you can call in the next museum you visit and find out Cromwell didn't lead Parliament.
