| The most distinctive medieval feature of the city of Chester is The Rows. These are double-level walkways with a continuous line of balconies and with shops at street and first-floor levels. The city's Roman walls have remained virtually intact. In the Middle Ages, several towers and gates to the walls were made: the most important of these was at Eastgate (behind us), now astride a main throughfare and crowned with an anachronistic clock commemorating Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee (1897). |
