Best Answer
The Horse and Jockey, Hope Street, Wrexham Grade II The Horse and Jockey stands as a landmark in Wrexham Town Centre. This mainly 17th Century timber framed, thatched roof building occupies a prominent position in Hope Street. Originally a 16th Century hall house, it has long been in use as an inn. It was merged from two premises around 1868; one being a private residence and the other a small beer house named the 'Colliers'. Some surviving elements of timber framing are visible internally. The Horse and Jockey was named after Fred Archer, 1857-1886, a local champion jockey.
