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.

Fire Hydrant Sign on Hough Green
This old Fire Point sign set in a sandstone block has far more character than the modern yellow 'H' sign. However, it probably took a lot longer to set up the old one. The fire hydrant access plate is behind the camera.

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.

Bench mark and Hough Green
Looking west along Hough Green in front of the former Redland Hotel. Immediately on the right the sandstone block carries an old 'FP' fire hydrant plate, whilst the modern version is attached to the wall above it. On this side of the sandstone block there is a bench mark. For a later 2023 photo see: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7404860

Chester Youth Hostel 2009
A sunny picture of what was once the Chester Youth Hostel on Hough Green. Citing the excessive cost of upgrading as the reason for disposal, in September 2009 the hostel has been sold. The YHA website now states that there is alternative accommodation at "...YHA Liverpool (25 miles) or YHA Manchester (41 miles)"!
