A MUCH-loved 19th century Wrexham pub has announced it will be closing down this weekend.

Sunday, July 14 will sadly be the final day for The Trevor Arms in Marford.

Due to a significant decrease in sales amid a tough economic climate, the decision to close has not been an easy one to make.

Manager Pratheesh Tharamalingam said: "It is with great sadness that we have to announce that this Sunday (July 14) we will unfortunately be closing our doors for a final time.

"This decision has not been made lightly and has been very difficult to come to terms with. However, with the current economic situation, decrease in footfall and decline in sales, it is just not feasible for us to carry on trading.

"Over the years, we have gotten to know many great people and we hope in the near future we get to meet again.

"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you kindly to everyone who visited us over the years, your support has been one of the greatest and we will forever be grateful for you all.

"With that said, please join us for a final time this Sunday for a Sunday Carvery or even just a quick pint.

"We hope to see as many of you as we possibly can before we close our doors for one final time."

The Trevor Arms, which dates back to the 1800s, is known for its delightful Gothic architecture.

Last year, the premium local pub, which also has bedrooms, announced plans for a huge refurbishment. While being up for lease with Star Pubs and Bars, it searched for a new operator to provide investment and undertake the transformation.
