Chester Chronicle

When we first moved to Chester, at the beginning of the 80's, there were two local weekly papers, the Chronicle and the Observer, with two offices facing each other in Bridge Street. You could go to either office around midnight on a Thursday and pick up a copy of the paper literally 'hot off the press'. Then the Chronicle bought the Observer, closed one office and built a new building on Commonhall Street. They moved non-printing staff there, and those involved in printing moved to the outskirts of Chester. Now all the staff have moved out to a business park, there is no newspaper office in the city centre, and the building is up for sale.
