Novelist Clare Dudman draws on her thirty years as a resident to bring us Real Chester. She explores a place that has been developing since Roman times, charting its growth through a rich medieval period, splendor in the Georgian era, industrial and civic might in Victorian and Edwardian times and, now, a modern reliance on tourism generated by this heritage. Dudman tells how Chester came to dominate the area, and how even its millennia old Roman history lies close to the surface, alongside as well as underlying the medieval grid of the city, which resulted in, among many other things, the famous double decker Chester Rows. These unique buildings are explored with relish by the author, along with the castle, the cathedral and the maze of streets left by the priories and churches of the city.
