First Chester Trip (Part II)

This Chester trip was a free trip organised by the University. There were like 4-5 buses filled with our students. Most of them are from the Stoke campus and only 1 bus is from Stafford.

Chester Cathedral (Front View)

Side View

Back View

This is the magnificent Chester Cathedral, dating back to medieval time. It is situated at the very centre of the city. Awesome building. I have always love these kind of heritage buildings.

St. John’s Church, one of the oldest churches in England, dating back to Saxon times and probably stands on the site of an earlier Roman temple.

Nice flowers right outside the St. John's Church. Made me smile until so happy... so unlike my friend. The flowers killed your dog meh?

Nice architecture buildings in the town centre. It is pretty busy as well.

The Chester's gothic style Town Hall, with its tower and spire was completed in 1869. The building still retains its Victorian magnificence and is a prestigious venue available for public hire.

Lastly, a group photo between the Stafford and Stoke students in front of the town hall. To be frank, I have no idea who are most of them. LOL.

Another trip like this would be fun. Manchester or Liverpool next? :D

First Chester Trip (Part I)

Chester is a city in Cheshire that located at the North West of England. It was founded by the Roman after they invaded England in A.D. 43 and was named Deva (after a river).

A wall was built around the city as defence from the Welsh tribes in Wales. Most of the wall still survives today and are a popular tourist attraction.

Quite considerable amounts of land are owned by the Duke of Westminster. He has properties in Mayfair, London as well.

This is the Roman Amphitheatre. The amphitheatre is centre of entertainment during the Roman times. In keeping with most Roman forts, it is located at the south east corner of the fort.

I do not know what is this, but it looks like some building that I used to build when playing Settler 3 last time. Haha.

I could say that, most of the places in England are full with grass. Obviously the grass is much cleaner than those back in Malaysia.

Oh yeah, I am sure you guys notice the title. Yes, there will be second part about Chester trip. Till then... Cheers!
