More about this scene

This small town, now part of Wrexham, was a mainly working-class community supplying workers for the various industries and mines in the area. Tramlines used to run through the streets as stone was moved to build the nearby aqueduct at Trevor, which was completed in 1805. The names Crane Street and Crane Corner came from the use of the crane to transfer trucks onto the tramway.
