Hightown Barracks

Hightown is a suburban area of Wrexham, in Wrexham County Borough, Wales.The Wrexham and Ellesmere Railway used to have a station known as Hightown Halt. The north-western parts of Hightown towards St Giles' Church near Salop Road were once a separate hamlet called Wrexham Fechan (Fechan meaning 'little' from Welsh) until it was eventually reabsorbed by the then growing town. There is a military barracks called Hightown Barracks in the suburb.Until 2011, the suburb was home to the "Hightown Flats", five blocks of five-storey flats built in 1970 of the Napier Square and Gatefield estates. The complex contained 181 flats and maisonettes, as well as five bungalows and 26 four-bedroom houses. The flats were known for safety issues, such as poorly lit corridors, and vandalism such as graffiti and abandoned furniture. The area around the complex was associated with antisocial behaviour, arson, and theft. The complex was demolished by Wrexham County Borough Council in 2011 for re-generation, with locals supporting demolition as the only option to regenerate the area.

Hightown Halt railway station was a station in Caia Park, Wrexham, Wales. The station was opened on 9 July 1923 and closed on 10 September 1962.

The River Gwenfro (Welsh: Afon Gwenfro) is a small river in Wrexham County Borough, north Wales. It is a tributary of the Clywedog. The name Gwenfro is possibly derived from the Welsh language words gwen (feminine of gwyn), "white", and bro, "border", "boundary". (However bro here means "vale", and gwen is likely to mean "holy", thus "holy vale".) The river rises at a number of small springs south and east of the village of Bwlchgwyn, including a place called Ffynnon y Ceirw ("spring of the stags"). It flows eastwards for several miles through a rather deep valley, and is joined by several other streams; it then passes through Wrexham city centre, where it is largely culverted, and joins the Clywedog at King's Mills. The section of the river that passes through Wrexham city centre was culverted in 1881 and now passes beneath Brook Street.The Gwenfro was an important water source for Wrexham industry and has had pollution issues. Although still periodically affected – an incident in 2006 led to a fine for Welsh Water – fish including brown trout and roach are now present.
