Help with Street name in Chester
- Chester
Recently when I revisited Chester I decided to explore some of my old stamping grounds and some of the little side Streets where I use to have a couple of friends back in the 60s, unfortunately one of the roads I was looking for had disappeared.
The Road I was trying to find ran parallel to Frodsham Street, between Forgate Street and the Canal. There was a small link Road between Frodsham Street and the Road I am trying to remember.
There was also a Pub in this Road about 2 or 3 hundred yards up the road from the Canal on the right hand side, again the name of the Pub would be appreciated.
