A Virtual Stroll Around the Walls of Chester
The Vanished Pubs of Chester Gallery

The Market Tavern. Its location, according to readers Audrey and Ralph Hodgkinson, was "at the end of Back Brook Street at the Hoole end came into Brook Place which in turn linked into Lyon Street, Newton"- an area changed beyond recognition by the redevelopments of the 1960s. Can anyone be more specific? Reader Peter Wright then wrote to tell us, "It was in George Street, opposite the Cattle Market. To the left hand side of the pub was Thomas Street and about 50 yds to the right was Back Brook Street. The street that ran parallel to the back of the pub was Pitt Street, which was where I lived (No1) until February 1958, when our house was compulsory-purchased due to the forthcoming demolition of the street". The Market Tavern may be seen in this detail from the 1875 Chester OS map. |
