Jim The Iceland store at the bottom of Frodsham Street...that's where I used to park. I used to slip the car park attendant a bottle of whiskey every now and then...he always saved me a car space. :lol: |

Re: Back From England!
The only time as an adult i went to Chester, it was a race weekend. Met a lot of nice scousers, but not many locals.

There were always lots of American tourists wandering around The Rows. I miss Chester so much...fabulous city. :(
Not far from the bandstand, right on the very banks of the river, is a pub which has a very nautical/waterside theme...heaving with people on the day we were there....the loos had respective headings above the doors...."Gulls" and "Buoys". Red sandstone cathedral alongside the red sandstone ROman walls circa AD 79.....at a certain spot along the walls is a sort of look out post tower, part of the feature of the walls, with steps leading up to a door alongside which is a notice which reads: "From this spot King Charles I watched the Battle of Rowton Moor in 1642". In another part of the city the remains of the Roman Amphitheatre. The Rows are unique to Chester...two rows of shops built one above the other, with steps at regular intervals up from the street, with shopping arcades leading inwards from the upper level. The rows were erected as a sort of defence against the "marauding Welsh hordes" as Chester stands very close to the Welsh border, but no chance of marauding Welsh hordes these days....not really sure on that one....maybe there still is. *As part of my membership of the UK Association for Roman Archaeology - one fantastic weekend in Chester with other members, including my partner.....the Grosvenor Hotel, owned by Gerald, Duke of Westminster...alongside that amazing bridge carrying the Roman Road across the main street (Eastgate I think) in the city centre, and bearing this huge clock. |

We lived not far from The Duke....he was often all along side me when we were waiting in traffic taking our daughters to school. |
