Description
The retaining wall to the bank of the River Dee opposite County Hall was built around 1830 and is made of coursed sandstone. The wall features a parapet and has approximately 15 courses on its south face, which faces the tidal River Dee, capped by a roll-mould. The ground to the north of the wall is level with the mould. The parapet consists of stone slabs that are about one metre wide and one metre high, joined with iron and some iron cramps. It is believed that the wall was constructed by the Council of the County Palatine of Chester when they acquired the land between the County gaol and the river around 1830. The eastern section of the wall was modified around 1913 as part of the construction of the City Council's hydro-electric station.
