Denbigh history
Denbigh Castle, together with its town walls, was built in 1282 by order of King Edward I. The Burgess Gate was once the main entrance into the town. The town was involved in the revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn in 1294-95; the castle was captured in the autumn, and a relieving force was defeated by the Welsh rebels.
Railway
Denbigh was served by a railway station on the former London and North Western Railway. The “Vale of Clwyd” line leading north to St. Asaph and Rhyl closed in 1955. A southern continuation beyond Ruthin linking up with the Great Western Railway at Corwen had closed in 1952.
North Wales Hospital
The North Wales Hospital, which opened in the 1840s, cared for people with psychiatric illnesses. The hospital closed in 1995 and has since fallen into disrepair. As of October 2018, the derelict building has passed into the ownership of Denbighshire County Council.
Futura Cinema
The Scala Cinema opened as the Scala in 1928 before being re-branded as the Wedgwood Cinema in the late 1970s. It closed in October 1980 and was re-opened by Lewis Colwell in 1982 and renamed Futura Cinema. The cinema closed in the 1990s, but the building remained open as a video rental store. In 1995, Peter Moore was arrested and convicted of the murder of four men.
