It contains the Grade II listed Cambrian Vaults and The Commercial Public House, as well as the historic home of Wrexham's first brewery.

It was possibly named after "College House" located adjacent and near St Giles' Church and Temple Row.

There are two Grade II listed buildings on College Street, the Cambrian Vaults and the Commercial Public House.

Both serve as remnants of Wrexham's brewing industry which was centred on this area adjacent to the River Gwenfro.

[1] The Cambrian Vaults is a pub building located on College Street, on its junction with Town Hill.

Its ground floor has a late 19th century style (possibly also renewed) public frontage.

[10] It has been theorised that an inn was located on the site in the 15th century, housing St Giles' Church stonemasons, however it cannot be verified.

[7][8] College Street is considered part of Wrexham's historic medieval core due to it being adjacent to St Giles' Church.

The bridge was also previously called Pont y llianeu/Pont-y-Llianeu, which suggests a historical presence of nuns or some type of religious women, although not certain whether there was any in Wrexham.

[18] On the opposite corner from the Cambrian Vaults (now The Parish) was Wrexham's former post office until 1885, when it moved to Egerton Street.
