| | Wrexham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wrexham faced an economic crisis: with residents anxious to sell their homes and move to areas with better employment prospects, but buyers were uninterested in an area where there was little employment. |
 | | Wrexham was formerly one of the most industrialised areas in North Wales, with brickworks, steelworks, breweries, such as Wrexham Lager, Brymbo Steelworks and the massive Minera Leadmines, along with many coal mines. |
 | | Wrexham is now the largest settlement in north Wales and has been nominated for city status several times, most recently in 2002 as part of the celebrations for the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, along with Aberystwyth, Machynlleth, Newtown, Newport and St Asaph. |
