A Virtual Stroll Around the Walls of Chester
The Vanished Pubs of Chester Gallery
Here is a
delightfully
evocative
hand-coloured
photograph of
customers
enjoying
a
sunny Sunday
at
the
old White
House
Hotel which
formerly
stood
above
the
river
on
Sandy
Lane
in Boughton,
just
outside
Chester. |
The White House Hotel and a frozen River Dee during the long cold winter of 1963
In contrast, here it is in high summer, seen from the Meadows
Sadly, the White House no longer exists and the site is now occupied by the mundane block of flats illustrated above. However, Sandy Lane still remains an attractive area of the city and is very popular with Chester families, especially during the summer months. There is an outdoor paddling pool, playground, boatyard, sailing club and a free public car park and slipway. |
