Morgan's Mount

Morgan's Mount was built in 1645, during the Civil War siege of Chester, to act as an observational platform and gun placement. It is named after Captain Edward Morgan, a royalist officer. The City Council have been repairing it recently, and, as you can see, it is sporting new railings and windows. Repairs were supposed to be completely by December, but it is still blocked off to public access.
