Photograph at the King Edward VII of the United Kingdom blue plaque

Town Hall. Chester town hall was opened in 1869 by the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. The architect was W.H. Lynn of Belfast, whose design was chosed in a competition. It replaced the exchange building of 1698 which stood in the centre of Northgate street and burnt down in 1862.
