ton Hall, The former as Is known. beng one of
the only two walled cities in England, and the
latter the splendid mansion OF the Marquis OF
Westminster, formerly Earl Grosvcncr) who is
enc Of the weaithcSt Peers Of the realm. We
crossed the Mcrscy to Birkenhead and there took
the railway to Chester, 6 miles. Chester IS
place of much historical interest. That portion
