Chester

The removal of the vegetation that has covered the rock below the walls as they cross along the Shropshire Union canal has provided a clearer view of the walls structure. The combination of masonry from different periods can clearly be seen. Including a substantial Roman section along the bottom parts of the wall. The work was undertaken to prevent the trees. ivy and scrub from damaging the wall in light of recent sections of wall failure. Now in the process of being repaired.
