We loved going to Indesign in Chester, though we couldn't afford to buy much at the time. This is a great addition to Chester city centre, and not too far from the Welsh Rarebit in the cathedral café.

Concerns raised over loss of Chester and Holyhead trains
Welsh Transport Secretary Ken Skates has called for the Office of Rail and Road to reverse two timetable changes affecting North Wales and border rail services. The decision by the rail regulator would reduce Avanti West Coast’s direct services from Chester to London Euston, and cut the Sunday Holyhead to Euston service, as part of the December timetable update. In a letter to the ORR’s Chief Executive, Mr Skates said: “The reductions in the Avanti direct rail services between Chester and London Euston and the Sunday service Holyhead to Euston are very disappointing for passengers in North Wales.
