| Keywords: The Butchers Market, Wrexham by Thomas Penson.png en The Butchers Market Wrexham This was the supermarket of the 19th Century but just look at the design - it blends into the street and makes the bold statement to people crossing the threshold that shopping here would be a quality experience The Neo-Jacobean style was the work of Thomas Penson II The Pensons were two generations of architects who also designed the Militia Barracks on Regent Street and the British School on Brook Street The Butchers' Market building also included a large room on the first floor for a Corn Exchange and its own inn Initially the cynics were convinced that the Market would fail saying that the butchers had always sold meat in the street and that they would never go indoors Press reports recorded at the time that it took less than half an hour to prove the cynics wrong The Butchers of Wrexham have been doing good trade there ever since Wrexham Council - Wrexham Town Walk 2013-12-19 10 58 55 http //www geograph org uk/photo/2808987 Eirian Williams cc-zero Uploaded with UploadWizard Buildings in Wrexham | ||||
