Llwyn Isaf was once the site of a mansion house, which later became a vicarage.

It was bought by the Council in 1953 and demolished shortly afterwards to make way for this building which has served as the headquarters for successive incarnations of the Council ever since.

Queens Square stands on the opposite side of Llwyn Isaf.

In recent years, this has been pedestrianised and paved over to create an area for weary consumers to rest their storecards. Small open-air markets and other events are also held here.

This view is of the Rhosddu Road frontage (Llwyn Isaf is just visible in the front foreground), with Queen Street on the far left and Argyle Street and Lord Street leading away on the right.
