Chester Castle - the Guard Room

Inside the curtilage of Chester Castle is a guardroom, built in 1846, and attached to one side of it is a later extension, built in 1878, which is a block of 3 cells for unruly soldiers. Each cell has a means of raising an external flag, to attract the attention of the guards, and a spyhole so the guards could look in. The guardroom now houses an exhibition that tells the story of the Castle.
