a selection of some of the best.
Eastgate Clock
On the edge of the city walls is Chester’s answer to Big Ben,
the ironwork Eastgate clock dating from 1899. Take the steps up to
the city’s Roman wall to get great views of the city street – you
can pretty much circle the entire city centre by walking round
it.
The Rows
Eastgate, Chester
Set within the city walls, the distinctive split-level Rows are
effectively double decker shops. These black and white timberered
buildings date from the middle ages – part of the rows on Bridge
Street are said to feature the oldest shop front in England.
Nothing medieval about the merchandise though – the Rows are now
packed with contemporary boutiques to taunt your plastic.
