THE EYE-CATCHING inaugural mural of the new Wrexham public art trail has now been completed in the city centre. 

Popular local artist Liam Stokes-Massey has been tasked with heading the project which looks to celebrate the city's culture and heritage. 

New murals will be painted across the city, to add to the ones currently in place at the Turf, Fat Boar and on Crispin Lane. 

The first of the bunch is this stunning mural of a miner located on Egerton Street.

Created by MurWalls, the detailed mural depicts a miner and a caged dove as both a fitting tribute to Wrexham's rich mining history and a nod to the Gresford Mining Disaster.

September marked the 90th anniversary of the disaster which saw 266 men lose their lives in one of Wrexham’s worst tragedies.

Liam Stokes-Massey described it as "absolutely unbelievable" and thanked the Murwalls team, as well as AVOW Wrexham, Ty Pawb's arts team and Col Supplies for their help on the project.

The Wrexham Miners Rescue Project team, who work to preserve the mining history of Wrexham, added: "We love this mural. Thank you to everyone involved."
