Did you know that the pub, when it was the Elephant & Castle, was called the 'curse of Wrexham' in 1879 by the police superintendent?
On New Year’s Eve 1878, Ann Roach marched into the inn and accused Bridget Brannan of maliciously gossiping about her to the inn’s widowed landlady, Ellen Birch. Ann hit Bridget with a poker and later tried to stab her in the throat with a fork, for which she was sentenced to six months’ hard labour.
