The mystery of who erected a Hollywood-style sign in Wrexham has finally been revealed.
And, it is not the new owners of the town's football club Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
But the appearance of huge white lettering spelling out the name of the north Wales town on a slag heap at Bersham Bank colliery tip is football related.
It has been placed there by sponsors of the National League, vehicle leasing company Vanarama.

Wrexham play in the league on Saturday (August 21) at Solihull Moors after a home game with Yeovil Town had to be shelved after Covid cases were reported.
Interest is so high at the club they have had to halt season ticket sales. The club put a cap on 5,500 season tickets being made available as they began flying out of the door at an astonishing rate.
New manager Phil Parkinson says there’s a lot for those fans to be excited about.
“I’ve already got to know people at the club, people who have worked here a number of years and have seen some tough times,” he told the National League's Oliver Osborn on a Zoom chat ahead of the new season.
“My job - along with everyone behind the scenes, and of course the new owners - is to bring the good times back to Wrexham.
“It’s been tough financially. We aren’t the only club to have lived through those periods but obviously for a club of this stature, to have been out of the EFL for so long is not good for the area.
“People here want to feel proud of their club - the aim is to get back into the Football League.
“The new owners have come in and lifted everyone. Unfortunately they haven’t been able to come over yet because of Covid, but in terms of raising morale they have been fantastic.
“We have seen this with season tickets sold and they’re even selling out of shirts. There’s so much positivity within the town - our job is to now concentrate on what we’ve got to do every single game.”
