Chester Youth Hostel plaque 2009
In July 2009, on one of the impressive gateposts to Chester Youth Hostel, the juxtaposition of the old high-minded plaque, with the gaffer-taped planning application below, boded ill for the hostel. Citing the excessive cost of upgrading as the reason for disposal, in September 2009 the hostel has been sold and the plaque removed. The YHA website now states that there is alternative accommodation at "...YHA Liverpool (25 miles) or YHA Manchester (41 miles)"!

Hough Green towards Chester
Looking along Hough Green towards Chester. There was once a First Geodetic Levelling bench mark in this area on a stone over a gully, but it seems to have been destroyed many year ago. The concrete panels in the ground now cover GPO equipment. The white Victorian building in the distance is the Youth Hostel, which is up for sale.

Hough Green away from Chester
Looking along Hough Green in the direction of Saltney. The road to the left, also known as Hough Green, accesses a row of 1970s houses. The large hedge on the left does not have a bank or associated ditch, but whether it be new or old it follows the old hedge line shown on the 19th century maps. Somewhere near the lamppost there was once a First Geodetic Levelling bench mark on a stone over a gully, but there is no sign of it now, and in fact it is not shown after 1874 on any map that I have seen.
