Cadw's description
Location
Part of a terrace of buildings to rear of the Wynnstay Arms Hotel.
Exterior
Terrace of 4 late C19 shops with accomodation over, adapted from an earlier, probably C17, timber framed building. Brick fronted, with timber framing surviving in internal cross walls (and probably in roof structure). Square panelled framing with arch bracing towards angles. Chamfered brick arched doorways and shop windows, and similar arched central passage entry. Steep pitched slate roof, with tiled cresting and finials to hipped dormer gables, each with a 2-light casement window.
Reason for designation
A significant survivor of timber-framed building in Wrexham, adaoted as an interesting and unusual example of late C19 shop design.
