Chester shot tower. Built in 1799, molten led was dripped through a grill at the top. Gravity caused the lead to become spherical before landing in water at the bottom. Only one of two left in the country. The other being in Bristol. #Chester #chesterhistory #shottower #Cheshire #history #towers

Former Steam Mill on the Shropshire Union Canal in Chester. Constructed in 1786 it processed corn and flour. Today it's largely used as office space.
