Can anyone please tell me if the Mission Room is still in Park Road,
Coedpoeth ?
My mother Elizabeth Ellen Richards was married at St. Mary's, Minera
and the reception was held at the "Mission."
Thanks, jasacat

Hi Jasacat, The mission room was demolished about 10 or 20 years ago I think and houses built on the plot which is adjacent to the car park. It was opposite the baptist chapel which is currently being redeveloped. It was a funny old building - I think it was made out of corrugated iron sheets or similar - my parents had their wedding reception there also in 1954.

It was made of iron sheets, I can remember going there years ago when they had wrestling there. They also had dances there with groups playing. Am I right ? I didn`t want to answer in case I was wrong. This seems to confirm it. Armando was a fanatical wrestling fan and he would always go to Coedpoeth to the wrestling, where he would fight with the likes of Billy Two Rivers, Les Cellet and Mike Morino, and others. There was a fighter with a mask on and he would always try to get it off him.

Thank you both! Yes, that was it. Left it too late for a visit! Sounds like it was quite a venue
