This most delightful of cities was originally built by the Romans to control the native tribes in North Wales and northern Britain. The layout of Chester still follows the Roman pattern, and the Roman defensive walls create a pleasant walk around the old city centre.

Crewe

|
A large Cheshire town, Crewe is best known as a centre of the railroad industry. Before 1830 Crewe was simply a hamlet, but when the Grand Junction Railway chose this Cheshire village as the site for its railroad works, Crewe's population and prosperity bloomed. At one time Crewe also housed the major works for producing Rolls Royce luxury motor cars.
