The Feathers
This was another of Wrexham’s coaching inns. It was originally known as ‘The Plume of Feathers’ and was owned by the Meredith family for over 200 years.
The inn was on a popular drover’s route along Wrexham’s main thoroughfare to The Beast Market, where farmers took their cattle to sell.
Around the side in Charles St you can see the old stable yard. The small round window in the side wall [see photo] would have been used to transfer hay from a large hay wagon directly to the hay loft within.
