We made a trip from Hawarden to the nearby town of Wrexham as we’d never visited there before.
On the way in from the west we passed Glyndwr University (some Art Deco styling) and the Racecourse Ground but I didn’t stop to photograph those till we were on the way back.
In the town centre I found more Art Deco.
Wrexham’s Burton’s has that company’s classic Art Deco style.

Wrexham Victoria Centre, 13 Hill Street, is minor deco; mainly in the pediment:-

McDonald’s occupies a strongly Art Deco building. Strong horizontals and verticals, flat roof, corner window.
