My Liverpool trip - Day 3 (early morning) - Stanley Street; On our way to Chester; Chester streets - The 28th of November 2015

It was quite cold and raining heavily the third morning we spent in Liverpool. We made our way to the Lime street Station so as to catch a train heading to Chester where we had planned to spend the whole morning. As

As we stopped on Stanley street we came across the famous bronze sculpture of Eleonor Rigby, one of Beatles' well known songs with its "magical" objects including a Bible, sonnets for love and a clover leaf.

We managed to get the nine o'clock train, having reached Chester approximately one hour later. It was raining as well but that didn't prevent us from walking along the rows of brick houses followed by the typical Chester black-and-white "double decker" shopping streets as we headed towards the city's Cathedral. The streets were crowded with people clearly carrying out their Christmas' shopping.

My Liverpool trip - Day 2 (late afternoon and evening) - St- George's Quarter - St. George's Hall; dinner at a Turkish restaurant at the Seven Street's Quarter - The 27th of November 2015

Saint George's Hall was artistically decorated on its outside façade as a remembrance of the World War's trenches.

 

 

Once we walked into its great Hall the gilded ceilings, the porphyry arcades and the tile floor were dazzling. Charles Dickens is said to have read extracts from his latest novels there but the site is also remembered as having been scene to many a murder trial.

It was quite dark as we made our way back onto the Seven Streets' Quarter so as to have dinner at a Turkish restaurant reputed for its well prepared food (which we confirmed to be even better than we had been told), just a few minutes away from our hotel.
