Chester Uncovered

A virtual tour of the City of Chester

For the first time the History Group held a day-time meeting in the afternoon of Thursday 15th January especially for those who find it difficult to attend evening meetings in the winter and it proved very popular, and not just because of the sumptuous tea and cake spread that followed a fascinating talk by Stephen Shakeshaft, a Chester City Blue Badge Guide. He introduced us to hidden secrets of Chester on this virtual tour of the city that included many features that even life-long Cestrians were not aware of.  He made a strong case for the rich history of Chester from the Roman period onwards that is often understated and generated real interest in the large audience to explore the city further themselves.
