U.S. actor has designs on restoring a neglected plot of land in the heart of the city, as well as the football club
Wrexham’s Henblas Street has potential but nevertheless still carries the scars of neglect. Not unlike, you might say, the local football club before the 2021 takeover by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Now, though, if one half of the Hollywood duo gets his way, this disused site — once home to the town’s old Hippodrome Cinema but vacant since 1998 — will be brought back to life in a similar vein to how The Racecourse Ground has once again become the area’s beating heart.
The plot of land that Wrexham’s owners hope will be transformed By creating a facility that the council suggests could contain “play facilities, tables and chairs, artworks, street food and even some community cinema with a nod back to the former Hippodrome site”, the hope is it can help regenerate this largely forgotten corner of Wrexham.
