I was in Chester today, having a wander round with the camera. Very busy with people but there were a noticeable number of empty shops, not so much at street level but lots at Row level where the footfall is much lower. Still, the whole city looked very smart, obviously great effort is made to keeping it looking so. An amazing choice of places to eat and drink, I'm sure it would take a year to get round them all.
Couple of photos:
1) I snuck into City Hall for a look round, fabulous building.
2) The HQ development, which has replaced the rather hideous 1970s Police Headquarters building.
3) Viscount Combermere has been defiled!
4) A pleasant backstreet, that always reminds me of the Hovis advert.
