Ian, brilliant - it is wonderful that people have done this research. It is
even better that the pub is still there for us to call and enjoy a pint!
Many thanks for the message,Bill.

Hi Bill,

Lampit Street is quite small!

According to "Wrexham Breweries & Inns", the only pub actually in Lampit
Street was "The Raglan Arms" which was built in the 1850s and was
demolished in the redevelopment of that area in the 1980s. However,
there is one other pub, on the corner of Chester Road and Lampit Street,
called "The Seven Stars", which is still there today.

Pigots 1835 Directory gives, under 'Retailers of Beer': "DRISCOLL,
Thomas, Lampit St"
