On our recent trip home to the UK we visited Chester and it is always beneficial to have some information available to read and guide your explorations.
Chester is a city in Cheshire, England. Lying on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales. It was founded as a "castrum" or Roman fort with the name Deva Victrix in the year 79 by the Roman Legio II Adiutrix. Chester's four main roads, Eastgate, Northgate, Watergate and Bridge, follow routes laid out at this time – almost 2,000 years ago. One of the three main Roman army bases, Deva later became a major settlement in the Roman province of Britannia. After the Romans left in the 5th century, the Saxons fortified the town against the Danes and gave Chester its name. The patron saint of Chester, Werburgh, is buried in Chester Cathedral.
Chester was one of the last towns in England to fall to the Normans in the Norman conquest of England.
Chester has the reputation of being the "English medieval city par excellence", but many of its buildings are from the Victorian era. Along with Derry, Chester makes a claim for being one of the best preserved complete walled cities in the British Isles It has the most complete city walls in Great Britain, and most sections of the walls are listed Grade I. The Industrial Revolution brought railways, canals, and new roads to the city, which saw substantial expansion and development – Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.
The city's central shopping area includes its unique 'Rows' or galleries (two levels of shops) which date from medieval times and are believed to include the oldest shop front in England
