  • Chester is the county town of 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 local government district of the City of Chester, which had a population of 118,210 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 2000 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 would give 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 a castle built 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. It has the most complete city walls in 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 to the city - Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.

  • Chester on kaupunki Luoteis-Englannissa lähellä Walesin rajaa. Vuoden 2001 laskennassa siellä oli noin 90 000 asukasta. 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. (fi)
