Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham

The Wynnstay Arms is a hotel and pub in Wrexham city centre, Wales.

The Football Association of Wales was formed at the hotel in 1876, and Prime Minister, David Lloyd George is said to have announced the end of World War I from the building's balcony in 1918.

The front of the three-storey Georgian red brick building dates to the mid 18th century.

[2][8][9][10] It became known as "the Eagles" in 1730, following the inn's enlargement and under the ownership of the Williams-Wynn family of Wynnstay, a country house near Wrexham.

[15] In the 18th century, it served as the meeting place for the "Circle of the White Rose" ("The Cycle")[10] a Jacobite society which included members of the Williams-Wynn, family of Wynnstay and the founding meeting for the Football Association of Wales, the latter taking place in February 1876, and is commemorated with a plaque on the building.

[10] David Lloyd George, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is said to have announced the end of World War I in 1918 from the building's balcony.

[4][3][7] William Gladstone, another British Prime Minister, who lived in Hawarden was also said to have delivered speeches from the building's first floor cast-iron balcony.

[11] Following increased pressure on the owners, a compromise was reached, where the Georgian façade of the building facing High Street would be preserved and not demolished, while the remaining rear of the building would be demolished and replaced by a modern hotel and car park.

The rear side of the hotel, built following the 1970s demolition of the rear parts of the original building.
