St Nicholas's Chapel has had many incarnations. It started life as a medieval chapel, became the Commonhall in the 16th century, and later the Wool Hall. It became the Theatre Royal in 1777 and was redesigned as the Chester Music Hall in 1855 by John Douglas. In 1867 Charles Dickens performed there. To the right of the ancient building is St Werburgh Row, which was built in 1935 and was designed by Maxwell Ayerton, one of the architects of the first Wembley Stadium. The tower of the town hall can be seen above the row. See also Image and Image
