At the head of the Dee Estuary lies the walled city of Chester with its half timber buildings. The settlment was established by the Romans and though the walls were extended in the medieval period the four main streets follow routes laid out at that time. This is a view of Eastgate from Foregate Street. The gate was rebuilt in 1768 and the clock on top was erected to commorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1899.
