As any guide will tell you, if you're visiting Chester a tour of the walls is a must! You can see all sorts of things from a high vantage point:
Unfortunately, just south of Eastgate, the route is closed and there's now a diversion:
Unless you're a lover of 60's concrete, you will not approve of the new route!
However further south there's a better diversion you can do, to the Albion Inn:
It dates back to the 1880's. A notice outside says "Old, characterful, famous and that's just the landlord!!". 
The sign also says it's over 18's only - family hostile J .
Inside there are old signs advertising (amongst many other things) Fry's and Rowntree's chocolate and Lyon's tea. It doesn't do chips, which Stuart Marconie thinks is just snobbery, but I suspect is for a good reason. People want vinegar on chips, and do you want vinegar near real ale? Anyway I ordered a Tunstall Tortilla:
Made with High Lane Oatcakes I opted for sausage, bacon, beans and cheese with mine. At £6.20 (for a single) many Potters would have a fit (don't tell Kev). I took the view that it's cheaper than going to London to The Robert Opie Collection and the filling was generous and of a high standard.
