Wonderful Buildings from Chester

On day 4 of our hols, we visited Chester and there are some wonderful buildings there. So here is a selection of our favourite, maybe they will inspire you too :0)

The detail on this building was amazing;

















Oops, one from Shrewsbury sneaked in!

Below is my favourite of all, this would be perfect as a Santa's Grotto Shop, without the Whiskey and Liquors of course!!!



















I hope you have all enjoyed our holiday snaps and that some of you may be inspired by some of our pics for your miniature projects. Thankyou for popping over and sharing our holidays snaps :0)

  6. Fabulous buildings Julia, LOTS of inspiration (I've redone my Gothic door frames as your other photo's jogged my memory to do something to them)! I only whisked through Shrewsbury when I was there and I've never got to Chester.

    The Cotswold's are spectacular, my Granny Pumpernickle's house wiil be in that style. ;o)

  7. LOL, I think Father Christmas would enjoy a whiskey outlet downstairs too, just don't tell the children! ;0)

    It is a lovely place Rosanna, I'm glad it brought back lovely memories of a wonderful holiday for you too. We loved the way the historical shops have two rows, one above the other :0)

    I'm so glad our pics jogged some inspiration for you, Michelle. I will look out for your redone gothic door frames on your blog :0) If you ever get the opportunity again, go to Chester, the buildings are fabalous, you would love them.
