The changing face of Wrexham

St Giles Church Wrexham

Wrexham is a town on the move. The pace of change has been incredible over the past ten years or so and it continues to accelerate, with major developments taking place both in the town centre and the surrounding areas. Just about the only landmark not to change its appearance is St Giles Church, which stands as proud as ever overlooking the town.

This website will tracks the changes taking place and retains pictures of the town as it was before the changes. It becomes more and more interesting with the passage of time, to remind us of what went before.

Demolition of Hightown Flats

Whatever you think of Hightown Flats, it is a fact that they are an imposing feature of the Hightown area of Wrexham and their demolition is set to change the character of the area for ever.

The pictures below were taken on Sunday 9th January 2011 and show no sign of their imminent demise.
