WELCOME TO HERITAGE OPEN DAYS 2015

Heritage Open Days celebrates our architecture and culture by allowing free access to interesting properties, many of which are not normally open to the public, as well as free tours, events, and other activities. It is organised by a partnership of Chester Civic Trust & Cheshire West and Chester Council, in association with other local societies. It would not be possible without the help of many building owners and local volunteers.

2015 is the 21st anniversary of HODS, which began in 1994 as a Council of Europe initiative. Chester has participated every year and has one of the largest programmes in the region. We also celebrate these landmark anniversaries -

*The 175th anniversary of the opening of the Crewe to Chester railway line.

* The 400thDQQLYHUVDU\RI%LVKRS/OR\GҋV3DODFH

*The 70th anniversary of the end of World War II

*The 40th anniversary of European Architectural Heritage Year 1975. 7KLVKDVSURPSWHGWKHFKRLFHRIFRYHUIRUWKLVGLUHFWRU\DV&KHVWHUҋV High Cross was put back in its original position (by Chester Civic Trust) as part of the celebrations in 1975. European Architectural Heritage Year gave Chester international recognition for pioneering conservation work - the legacy of which we can all enjoy during HODS .

The front cover watercolour, painted by George Thompson, is in the collection of the Grosvenor Museum.
