What a valuable asset you are to the RUclips channel 👏 👏 Please keep sending us many more sensational videos just like this one🙏 May we continue to build old historical buildings.
I have watched all videos of Chester and this is the most comprehensive, amusing and spot on of them all, both in the narration as in the images. Cheers!
Just spent my 2nd Christmas in Chester this last year and proposed to my fiancée on by the clock whilst all the Xmas lights were out, a truly magical holiday!!
Love chester, so beautiful! It's not well known that the canal was made by digging further down into Chester's moat. Lovely bit of original roman wall above it there - by Northgate. 😊
Fabulous commentary and research. We visit Chester often and you have shown us a lot we have missed previously. Your walks and commentary often inspire us. Many thanks
The video does Chester's former cathedral of St John the Baptist 24:30 a disservice by suggesting the building is a 19th century re-build. Although the exterior is a Victorian restoration the interior retains its Norman origins with superb arches and columns plus later medieval monuments. The volunteer guides are extremely helpful and a visit is well worth while - and they serve refreshments.
You should visit Lowe & Sons located on the rows. They are the oldest jewellers in Chester and have an in-house museum with ties with the titanic and the royal family. :) Worth the visit!
Oh wow I didn't know that I visited Chester in2021 and loved it. Its such a beautiful city. I would have loved to have seen the jewelers and museum ,, maybe next time.
We stayed in Chester for a few days back in 2019. Loved the city and walking the walls. My favorite city is York, but Chester isn't far behind! Great reminisce, thank you!
Thank you. An energetic and comprehensive tour of this ancient historic city. I was born and raised not far from Chester, so visited, oh, dozens of times, and no doubt led to my eventual degree in Medieval History. For those interested, a significant section of Roman wall can be seen alongside the canal, and another section, part of the original Roman dock, out at the Roodee, the Chester racecourse. Finally, your correct use of the Roman legions is impressive, adding to what is a wonderfully produced city walk - well done indeed. :)
Visited Chester for the first time last month! I was amazed what a lovely City it is. It had been on my bucket list for years to walk round the walls. Only did part of them so must go back.
Everyone hears of York that I love though Chester is an underrated known Roman City with Viking Meiedieval history and incredible architecture aswell as shopping so close to the Welsh Montains with magnificent walks
Deva Vitrix, fondata dai Romani, il più grande e glorioso Impero della storia; Roma ha conquistato, dominato, costruito e civilizzato; la grandezza, la potenza, la magnificenza e la gloria di ROMA EST AETERNA, ROMA INVICTA ET LUX MUNDI 💪💯
I'll have to visit Chester in the near future, as it's my fathers place of birth. Unfortunately, I strongly dislike flying and walking from Australia seems somewhat fanciful 😁
its not just the nothgate street pret cafe that has ruins incased in glass, a lot of the ruins are preserved that was in Chester. I used to work in a shop on northgate street and in the stock room there was a whole wall of glass at the back that preserved another set of ruins. There is also the remains of a roman strong room preserved in more glass behind the Forum shopping center. you never know where you'll find them
Hello lets walk fancstic vidio of Chester were they film Hollyoaks which I watch me and my partner Andrew have been to Chester lovely city take care stay safe from Lynn x x
Lynn Ballington I think you maybe interested to know that you have accidentally spelt both video and fantastic wrong and that Hollyoaks was originally filmed in Chester, but filming now takes place in a suburb of Liverpool called Childwall. Mersey Television (now known as Lime Pictures) moved production of Hollyoaks from Chester to Liverpool in 2000 as it was not practical for the Hollyoaks production team to film in Chester because it was too expensive to go back and forth between Liverpool and Chester. I hope you don't mind me pointing that out.
It's interesting that the narrator mentions that Chester used to be called Deva Vitrix or was built on a ancient Roman fortress with this name because here in the UK 🇬🇧 we have a soap opera which is set in Chester called Hollyoaks on Channel 4 in which the character of Louise Summers (Roxanne McGee) mentions this historical fact in one episode from 2006 and yet her blonde bimbo friend and co - worker Carmel McQueen (Gemma Merna) didn't understand this fact and thinks she (Louise) is talking about the fact that Thailand used to be called Siam LOL! Such a shame Louise and Carmel were both killed off though in 2008 and 2014 respectively!
At 3:16 / 39:12 you can see Chester cathedral ⛪ which was recently seen in an episode of Hollyoaks were Ste Hay was having his stag do before his marriage to James Nightingale but unfortunately Tony Hutchinson tied Ste to the lampost outside whilst he was wearing a rainbow 🌈 coloured tracksuit and Tony together with Sienna Blake had to rescue him. Then as the guests were stood outside Chester registary office at 5:08 / 39:12 Sienna asks her boyfriend Ethan Williams to join in a game of charades and Ethan does the dance to the Little Eva / Kylie Minogue song the loco - motion and everyone though he was doing a song about sex and Ste's son Lucas was so embarrassed LOL!
the foundations and lay out of the wall is pretty much unchaged since the roman period. unfortunately this means that parts of the walls are often closed for repair work usually every other year or so to keep everything in tact and still standing
I don't know why you have to show us so many churches all the time. People have them wherever they live and we know what they look like and what they are for.....they are basically all the same. People aren't typing in 'walking in chester' so they can learn about the history of churches. You should perhaps change the title of your videos to the HISTORY of places. You mention the past more than the present.

Another superb video. So many interesting gems in England to explore and Chester was completly blank spot for me until I saw this clip.
Fabulous commentary and research. We visit Chester often and you have shown us a lot we have missed previously. Your walks and commentary often inspire us. Many thanks
I live in Chester and there is always more to find. Did you visit the river ? As find many tourists don't realise the river Dee with the Groves

What part of the walls is original?
the foundations and lay out of the wall is pretty much unchaged since the roman period. unfortunately this means that parts of the walls are often closed for repair work usually every other year or so to keep everything in tact and still standing
@@Faye-vr6jc I walk the walls pretty much every day and have often wondered about it, such a cool little city we have
@@soulseller1838 ikr it makes me so happy to be from this stunning city😌
The clock was completed in 1897 but wasn't working until 1899

Big Ben is not a clock!!!!!
Can you tour Central avenue in chester, I used to have a friend there who recently died . Thanks
👍👍👍
When I lived there it was not pedestrianised.
The black & white buildings are Tudor not Victorian
Great tour but you are mispronouncing "principia".
