DRONE photos have shown the progress made in transforming a site in Rhyl into one which can be enjoyed by the community, visitors, and businesses.
Planning consent was approved last year for the construction of a new indoor market hall, event space and external landscaped area at the Queen’s Market building, as well as the refurbishment of the Queen’s Chambers building fronting Sussex Street.
Bodelwyddan-based Wynne Construction, who is overseeing the development, said the work remains on course to be completed by the summer.
The company took the attached photos to demonstrate the extent of the work put in at the site so far.

Wynne Construction project manager Andy Lea said: “Work on the Queens Market is progressing well and we are on track for completion in the summer.
“Internal works are continuing and we are due to begin the first fixed mechanical and electrical installations, as well as add the internal blockwork for the hot food and market stalls within the centre.
“Additionally, roof works are ongoing, with the installation of rooflights due to start at the end of February.
“Work is also commencing in the Queen’s Chambers, which will include a new roof, windows, internal fit out, and shop fronts.
“The project so far has been a great success, working with Denbighshire County Council and local subcontractors to see 68 per cent of the workforce to date living within North Wales.
“We also still have an opportunity for a general site operative to join the team and recruitment for this position is ongoing.”
The indoor market hall will contain a mezzanine for additional seating and pop-up vendors, as well as the versatile event and commercial space.
The development includes 18 individual units, as well as five hot food units, and a double-sided bar.
As part of the project, Wynne will maintain the character of the Queen’s Chambers on Sussex Street, preserving the traditional stone detailing at the old entrance of the building dating back to 1902.
Traditional brickwork and signage will also be installed to ensure the building sits comfortably into its surroundings.
