Rediscovered Canal Basin

When I first moved to Chester back in 1982, down on the canal basin near Telford's Warehouse there were a few wooden planks across a small inlet (or outlet) off the canal. The inlet (or outlet) went nowhere. Later investigations by, I think, Chester Civic Trust, showed that there had originally been extra mooring off the canal basin, and that part of the original quay wall was still there. This has now been opened up and restored, and you can see part of the result below. The section of original wall is furthest away in the photo.
