Handy guide-book to Chester and its vicinity; with brief notices of its civil and ecclesiastical history; Roman and Saxon antiquites, walls, castle, and cathedral; and a description of Eaton Hall

ALTHOUGH there is no historic record of the fact, yet there is every reason to believe that long before the Roman invasion the site of Chester was occupied as a stronghold by the original inhabitants. The site of Chester in early times was one well suited for the growth of a great and strong city. Its strength as well as its fitness for commerce, mainly lay in the river itself, which washed the walls of the city to a far greater extent than it does now. The real history of Chester commences with the occupation of it by the Twentieth Legion, which came into Britain in the year 61, under Suetonious, who made it his head-quarters, and after the defeat of Boadecia, led his intrepid legion into North Wales and Anglesea.
