A WREXHAM pub based in the city centre remains closed today (October 17) due to damage from yesterday's flooding.
The Nags Head, situated along Mount Street, shut its doors due to flooding inside the building.
Approximately 3ft of water has flooded the cellar, with water damage on the ground floor (the bar area).
Speaking to the Leader today, a pub spokesperson said: “We’re closed today after yesterday’s flooding. It was about 3ft deep in our cellar and has completely covered the ground floor. Our carpets were ruined by the water which also filled the main pub floor.

A post shared to social media this afternoon said: "Unfortunately, our pub was severely flooded yesterday, and the damage is more extensive than we initially thought. As a result, we won’t be able to reopen for the time being.
"We’re heartbroken, but we’re working hard to assess the situation and will keep you all updated as soon as we have more information.
"Thank you for your support and understanding during this challenging time. We’ll be back as soon as we can! Stay tuned for updates."
