A Virtual Stroll Around the Walls of Chester
The Vanished Pubs of Chester Gallery
| The Universal Inn (no. 71 Boughton, corner of Victor Street) Together with the Cheshire Sheaf at the other end of the block (no.70, corner of Fosbrook Street. Both are illustrated below) it was demolished and their sites were until recently occupied by a petrol station, which in turn was demolished a few years ago. The closure and demolition of the popular Boughton St. Paul's School just behind has opened the site to redvelopment- the neighbouring Boughton Retail Park was acquired by Waitrose in 2009 so watch this space for what arises there.. The Universal's licencee in 1934 was Mr H Wilkes. |
