Chester Walks – CD, DVD or DVD for stand alone DVD player

Preparation for this WALK has raised some important H&S questions

• WALKCHESTER wishes our many Tourists an enjoyable, safe walk, with useful signage 
• All Towns and Cities have a duty-of-care to all pedestrians & wheelchair users
• All classes of able-bodied and disabled require smooth, safe walking surface
• A regular risk assessment of all pathways, access, egress, length of walk marked, would be helpful
• All humans require access to drinking water, food and toilets, (not forgetting pets)
• All disabled require good maps showing car-parking close to access routes
• All public places to have high H&S standards. Remove cobble-stones 
• or flag-stones, wider pavements for motorized wheelchairs

Starting from 1 Watergate following a “Morning 3-hour route”, with lunch break along Pepper Street. 2“Afternoon 3-hour route”, starting from St. John’s Church. We recommend two all day carparks Watergate-Racecourse and Little-Roodee carpark. There are more carparks within the City walls some have wheelchair access
17 Architectural examples of decoration, stone and wood, ornamentation and pattern, internal and external, used mainly on older buildings up the 1930’s. From the WWII building became rectangular boxed shape. Slowly they morphed into curves, then the competition exploded
Now you have almost any shape that will withstand gravity. That’s OK for the architect’s ego and his show-off creation, I question the buildings lifespan and running costs?
18 Summery Examples: Human creativity, individualism from the earliest cave-dwellers to the mud-hut there is an overwhelming desire to decorate to enrich their surroundings. I have used illustrations of doors and doorways to put my visual point across. I enjoyed doing this grouping the different styles together, their verity in colour and shape is extraordinary, enjoy.
