The Horse and Jockey, Grade II listed pub in Wrexham, Wales
The Horse and Jockey features a traditional thatched roof structure, making it the last remaining thatched property in the Wrexham city center.
Built as a 16th-century hall house, the building transformed into three separate cottages before merging into a single pub establishment in 1868.
The pub received its name following the death of Fred Archer, with its sign displaying an original painting of this notable British jockey.
Located in the residential area of Offa, the establishment maintains regular opening hours and serves traditional pub refreshments to locals and visitors.
In 1938, Wrexham Lager acquired the pub and implemented structural repairs, including special measures to protect the thatched roof during World War II.
