Burton Buildings, Wrexham

Burton Buildings in Wrexham was built in 1896. It has rather fallen on hard times but still maintains the original shop fronts and some lovely terracotta work, such as this doorway, which was probably supplied by J C Edwards of Ruabon. Considering the proximity of an extensive terracottta industry in the vicinity it is surprising how little of the local product is to be seen in Wrexham. The bin is a bonus item.
