The long awaited promenade by the River Dee at Crane Wharf. The promenade is part of the Sustrans national cycle network route 5. The building to the left of the picture is the early 18th century former wharf side warehouse which is now home to the TS (Training ship) Deva the base for Chester Sea cadets. The river is tidal at this point and before the promenade was built, a small inlet behind the building was used for launching the sea cadets' river craft. Due to the movement of tides, human bodies entering the river upstream of this point would sometimes be recovered from the inlet several days later. The apartments and stable block in the distance are built on land formerly an electrical distribution unit and a gasworks.
