A viewing platform at the Minera Lead mines has been damaged by recent storms which battered through the area.

Minera was one of many areas around Wrexham to be affected by storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin over the past week.

The buildings on the site in Minera haven't been used as a functional mine since 1914 and is a popular site particularly for walkers, who enjoy the Country Park and the views of the adjoining Minera Mountain.

On the damage, a spokesperson said: "We are aware that there was some relatively minor damage to one of the viewing platforms attached to the Engine House at Minera which we are currently assessing.

"A part of the platform has collapsed onto the ground adjacent to the engine house, this area is fenced off and has warning signs displayed.

"Staff have visited the site and confirmed that no immediate action is required at this time. The structure will be properly assessed and remedial action undertaken as necessary."

Further in the county in Wrexham town centre, roofs on Abbot Street, where the Cross Foxes and Penny Black are situated, were also damaged following the force of the three storms and led to the closure of Abbot Road.

Schools and some businesses were closed on Friday (February 18) and flood warnings are now pace in several areas across North Wales.
