Colin, you have a photo of The Butchers Arms with houses being demolished opposite, whereabouts was this, although it looks like Middle Chare, the building at the back, has got us all puzzled.
That's what we thought, but if you stand in the same place as the photographer, you would see the churchyard of the parish church, Cestria school is to the right and hidden out of view, also the windows are much different to what is there now, that is what has thrown us, and made us wonder if it is Middle Chare in Chester. I have had everyone I know onto it and they are all of the opinion that it isn't in Chester.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing Colin .
cheers Andrew
Wish I could go back in time and see it for myself
A very interesting video, Colin. Sadly alot of the old places and faces have gone taking their history with them .
Cheers Andrew we have lost so much I am hanging on to the Memories
crazy lookin at chester like that compared to now
So much has changed, yet so much is the same. I can remember Chester back in the 70s.
Fantastic video. Can you tell me where the board inn was? I can't picture where it would have been
Hi Clare it is straight opposite the Queens Head, Clems Fish shop. It is on the corner of Low Chare

It is Middle Chare Mary
The building at the back Mary is Cestria School Now
