i'm in leeswood
I used to live in Sycamore Drive, (or Fford Masarn) as it was back then. Use to buy matches from the Prince of Wales, and start little fires in the woods over that metal bridge.i'm in leeswood
In fact, looking at google maps, The Prince of Wales has gone, and there are houses on the big piece of grass over the road, and a load of houses where we used to go and play, by the woods. I went to Ysgol Derevenfa.
Actually, P of W is still there, ignore me.

Brittania stores? Was that the little corner shop on the main road, or the row of shops past the school?i have a cracking view of hope mountain
This bit? There used to be a little corner shop where I used to get rice paper, and 1/2p sweets on the way home from school in my little grey shorts, and brown jumper! In fact, I remember that as being cobbled, maybe, and with a couple of alleyways down there, maybe? Been a while.

Where in Wrexham you from then,you mentioned most villages in Wrexham area.And there ain`t much wrong with Rhos just people got wrong impression.
Grew up in Chirk (Lodgevale), Wrexham (Code-y-Glyn) and Overton. You're right about Rhos, it's a big place and a few bad apples doesn't make it a bad place.My Husband lived in Wrexham [Acton] from age of 2 through till 35, left some 18 years ago. Would he move back? No you couldn't pay him enough.
Wrexham used to be a nice town [in the 60's/70's], the odd areas were rough, but He still visit there now and again. It's not the same.
It has become dirty and over crowded, houses where once green fields were. As soon as you get there you want the exit road.
Villages that used to be separate have all been swallowed up by housing developements joining them all together.
