Coaching Inns

Chester's oldest coaching inns were established in the mid-seventeenth century, to provide beds for passengers while they waited for ships to take them to Ireland. Back then there were three coaches a week and the journey to London took four days in summer and six in winter. In the eighteenth century, thanks to improved roads and better carriage springs, it went down to two days, and Chester became an important coaching and carrying centre. The city then had a number of coaching inns, two of which were the Blossoms Hotel and the Dublin Packet.
