The record
A fragment with the remains of a painting, among the historic items in the Mayor's Parlour at Wrexham's Guildhall; last listed by the council in 2019.
In January 2019 Wrexham County Borough Council's news blog listed a piece of the Berlin Wall as one of five amazing pieces of history in the Mayor's Parlour at the Guildhall. The council called it a very rare piece of the Wall, which includes the remains of a painting of the kind that emblazoned the structure in an attempt to brighten the oppressive sight.
The post does not give the piece's size or say how it came to Wrexham. The Parlour is in the council's Guildhall rather than a public gallery, so seeing the piece depends on the Mayor's office. Nothing later than 2019 has been read.
