  • A bound volume of 50 folios, showing photographs of felons with descriptions of the convicts and their crimes. The volume was prepared from cuttings from official police gazettes. The majority of felons featured were convicted in the county court at Ruthin, although a small proportion were convicted in other regions. This volume and its companion were put together by one Superintendent J. Bradshaw and he may have used it to identify felons who had returned to north Wales.

  • This document lists the food which was received by prisoners at Ruthin Goal in 1851. The quantity and the nature of the food varied according to the length and nature of the prisoners' sentence, with each prisoner receiving a set amount of food for breakfast, dinner and supper. There was little variety in the diet and the meals consisted of oatmeal gruel, bread, potatoes and scouce ['lobscouse' or meat stew].

  • Elihu Yale (1649-1721) is perhaps best known for his benefactions to the famous American University but, as this photograph shows, he also had strong associations with Denbighshire and the town of Wrexham in particular. Elihu was born in America, but spent most of his adult life in India where he served as Governor of Madras. Following his retirement in 1699, he moved to Britain and began spending time at Plas Grono, Wrexham, the house which he had inherited from his Welsh ancestors. In 1707 he became a benefactor of St Giles Church, Wrexham and paid for major building work and improvements. On his death in 1721 he was buried in the churchyard. During the Second World War, American troops who were stationed nearby attended a special commemoration service in the church for Elihu Yale, and in September 1945 the colours of the US Marine Corps were presented and laid in the church.

  • The Lloyds (Wrexham) Bank was established in Wrexham in 1785 by Richard Lloyd, flannel merchant. His flannel business in Chester Street prospered to such an extent that in 1785 he was able to establish the Wrexham Bank and the following year he acquired the Bryn Estyn Estate. Following his death in 1814, his second son, Richard Myddleton Massie Lloyd (usually known as R. M. Lloyd), took over the banking business. As a banker, R. M. Lloyd enjoyed the unbounded confidence of the inhabitants of Wrexham and was treasurer for practically all the local Friendly Societies. R. M. Lloyd was the only banker in north Wales who compounded with the Stamp Office for the stamp duty on bank notes. Up to 1844 he issued his own notes and although by the Bank Act of that year he could have continued to do so up to a value of Ł4,464, from then on he used Bank of England notes. The closure of Lloyd's main rival, Kenrick's Bank, in December 1848 caused a run on R. M Lloyd's bank and, much to the consternation of the local inhabitants Lloyds finally closed its doors on 10 January 1849.
