Above the doorway to Nichols, there is a gilded sign that reads 'H. Staines Waymouth Late Bracegirdle', which I find fascinating. Before the shop was Nichols it was a bespoke tailors, certainly for at least 25 years. What was it before that? Who was 'H. Staines Waymouth Late Bracegirdle'? And why, in 30 years of living in Chester, had I never noticed it before last week?
