Living Memory: A Talking Tour of Chester

A tour with a difference; Cheshire Archives and Local Studies has produced this audio tour using voices from their collection.  Take a stroll around the Victorian splendour of Grosvenor Park and along the banks of the River Dee, while immersed in Chester residents’ narrations of early 20th century life.

The interviews that will guide you through this scenic corner of Chester were recorded in the early 1980s by the Chester Archaeological Society.
