  • Chester is a city in Cheshire, England. Lying on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales, it is home to 77,040 inhabitants, and is the largest and most populous settlement of the wider unitary authority area of Cheshire West and Chester, which had a population of 328,100 according to the 2001 Census. Chester was granted city status in 1541. Chester 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. William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a castle, to dominate the town and the nearby Welsh border. In 1071 he created Hugh d'Avranches, the 1st Earl of Chester. 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.

  • Chester on kaupunki Luoteis-Englannissa lähellä Walesin rajaa. Vuonna 2005 siellä arvioitiin olevan noin 118 600 asukasta, ja kaupunki kasvaa edelleen. Chester on roomalaisten sotilaslinnoitukseksi perustama kaupunki, jossa on myös suurin Italian ulkopuolella oleva amfiteatteri. Teollistumisen aikana Manchesterin ja Liverpoolin yläluokka hankki asuntoja Chesterin miellyttävämmästä ja puhtaammasta ympäristöstä. Edelleenkin Chester on rikkaiden suosiossa ja siellä sanotaan olevan maan toiseksi eniten miljonäärejä suhteessa asukaslukuun, Lontoon jälkeen. Kaupungin rakennuskannasta iso osa on 1800-luvun lopulta ja 1900-luvun alusta. Keskustan huomiota herättävin piirre ovat keskiajalta peräisin olevat kaksikerroksisten kaupparakennusten kujat. Kauppa ja turismi ovatkin nykyisin tärkeimpiä elinkeinoja. Chesterin yöelämä on hyvin vilkasta ja pubien ystäville on tarjolla yli 200 erilaista ja eri tavoin erikoistunutta pubia. Parhaimmillaan kaupungissa on ollut, paikallisten sanoman mukaan, pubi jokaiselle vuoden päivälle. Chesterissä on helppoa liikkua jalan. Kätevä tapa liikkua paikasta toiseen on ydinkeskustaa ympäröivä kaupunginmuuri, josta saa melko hyvän kuvan kaupungista, noin tunnin kävelyllä.

Chester recebeu o estatuto de cidade em 1541. Chester foi fundada como um "castrum" ou fortificação romana, com o nome de Deva Victrix no ano 79 pela Legio II Adiutrix romana. As quatro estradas principais de Chester: Eastgate, Northgate, Watergate e Bridge, seguem os traçados estabelecidos naquele tempo - há quase 2.000 anos. Uma das três principais bases do exército romano, Deva mais tarde tornou-se um grande povoado na província romana da Britannia. Após a partida dos romanos no século V, os Saxões fortificaram a cidade contra os Daneses e deram a Chester o seu nome atual. A santa padroeira de Chester, Werburgh, está enterrada na Catedral de Chester. Chester foi uma das últimas cidades da Inglaterra a passar para o controle normando durante a conquista normanda da Inglaterra.

A Revolução Industrial trouxe ferrovias, canais e novas rodovias para a cidade, que teve substancial expansão e desenvolvimento - o Paço Municipal de Chester e o Museu de Grosvenor são exemplos da arquitetura vitoriana deste período.
