The Stranger's Handbook to Chester [1856], by Thomas Hughes 62611 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/6/1/62611 ] [Files: 62611-0.txt; 62611-h.htm] For those wishing to know: local Chester (England) bookseller Thomas Catherall published this very readable guide to Chester around 1856. As well as giving history etc. it contains a lot of local advertisements, giving a rounded view of what Chester was like then. All the best, David England with large clouds and patches of blue sky
