Building Chester

A brand new, step by step, street by street and building by building history of Chester, comprising 224 pages and well over 250 black & white images, which include details on many of the historic streets, walkways and landmark buildings that form part of the ancient city. This new book tries to both identify and explain the earliest histories and later development of many of Chester’s most familiar sites, including its four main shopping streets and the many buildings that line their historic routes. The publication also tries to identify some of the notable men responsible for creating the city that stands today, the masons, the bricklayers and perhaps more importantly, the small number of regional architects who have helped to create, what is commonly referred to as the Chester “Look”
