Close
The current building consists of a polygonal Tudor Revival façade structure and is situated in between Wrexham's Hope Street and Queen Street, with the building also extending further across Queen Street. A hotel styled as the Talbot Hotel also operated on the first floor of the building.
It stopped operating as a pub and hotel in 1966, later being converted into retail space (now Boots Opticians), although part of the building briefly served as a bar known as The Talbot in 2008.
