✨ #RowvemberChester Day 30: 11 Watergate Street Grade I with Chester's finest medieval undercroft (c.1300)! The shield reads "The Old Crypt 1180" but it's a century out & not really a crypt. Haunted tales of secret passages? Probably the Roman sewer! Truth as fascinating as legend.

✨ #RowvemberChester Day 29: 53 Lower Bridge Street Grade II with enclosed medieval timber Row at first floor level. Built to squeeze into a gap next to St Olave Street. Medieval sandstone wall & huge fireplace survive. Is it one building or two merged? This is still debated.
