CHESTER

Chester (recorded in the Domesday Book as Cestre) is an old city in Cheshire, England. The city began in AD79 when the Romans built the fortress 'Deva' on the site, in a bend of the River Dee, as a base for military operations against the Welsh. Later the fort became a 'citizen fortress' and a trading centre until the Romans withdrew in AD383.
