Roman Gardens I

The Roman Gardens were laid out in 1951, for the Festival of Britain. This section of the city wall is an extension to the original Roman walls, and was probably built around 907, when Chester was fortified by Aethelflaed, daughter of Alfred the Great and Queen of Mercia. It was almost certainly built from stone quarried from the remains of the amphitheatre. By the early medieval period the northern part of the gardens were probably built on, with structures fronting onto a road that led through the Wolf Gate.

The mosaic shown below was installed earlier this year.
