Chester in General is a good article but there are mistakes. The Music Hall cinema wasn't in Brook Street, it was in Werberg Street. It didn't go over to bingo.

Naturally, any further information on the topic would be gratefully received, and ...  Read the complete review

My first memories of Chester go back to my childhood when as a 7 or 8 year old, armed with paste butties (sandwiches to non Liverpudlians) I boarded the huge green double decker bus and set off excitedly with my school mates on a school trip.
