Views along River Dee on Chester River Cruise, England
Chester River Cruise along the River Dee from The Groves, Cheshire, England
Visit Chester
In this video we visit the English Roman city of Chester. First we take a look at The Groves riverside promenade alongside the River Dee, tourists enjoying the atmosphere and week-end visitors on a lazy, warm Summer day - showing the riverfront and bandstand.
See local artist, Mary Saifelden, painting and selling oil paintings by the walls at the Groves.
Then we board a Chesterboat called 'The Jackie', for a leisurely boat cruise down the River Dee.
Some boat commentary is included. You can also read the parts featured on my video by selecting 'CC' or subtitles.

Chester Memories
Chester Memories in evocative moving pictures - capturing the favorite haunts of today and yesterday. See the city as the world has loved it down the years.
What was Chester like in the 1930s?
This video uses recently discovered film from the 1920s up to the present day. Chester is shown in CORONATION YEAR OF 1937. The New Gate is shown under construction and on the river, boat trips are offered by men in smart naval uniform. Pupils from the Cathedral School are seen complete with mortarboards. In 1929 an electric tram has stopped in Eastgate for passengers. In 1932 we take a look at Chester Carnival on the Roodee and in 1963 people are SKATING AND WALKING ON THE FROZEN RIVER DEE.
We see the changes over 60 years together with some film of Chester in recent times.

ChesterBoat Hen Party Cruises: Party Nights Afloat and Private Charters
ChesterBoat have helped hundreds of hens enjoy their last night of freedom with their nearest and dearest friends for years. We have two superb cruise options for you girls to enjoy, depending on the size of your party:
Party Nights Afloat - 3 hour evening cruise with professional, musically themed disco, glass of wine on arrival and BBQ supper. Choose from Mamma Mia, 60s, 70s & 80s, Hits of the 90s or Motown.
Private Charter - Perhaps a more cost-effective and exclusive option for larger groups is privately chartering your own boat for the evening, catering for groups from 20 -120
Alternatively, for a relaxed and refined daytime hen party cruise option, why not join our 2 Hour Iron Bridge cruise with a Vintage Afternoon Tea prepared by King’s Acre Cupcakes?

We look forward to welcoming you aboard.....

Our videos represent our experiences when we are on the canal. We show it as it is, warts and all.
We have received criticism for our ‘shaming’ of hire boaters. To be honest, we don’t care who owns which boat, if it is badly behaved, then we record it.
This video is to put the record straight and highlight already published criticism of Private Boaters.
As it says in the channel description, these are our records of our experiences on the canal.
There are numerous narrowboat channels on YouTube, each one is different, but one thing that most of them have in common is that they are run as a business. The editing is very ‘sanitised’ to give the impression that everything is wonderful and no problems or conflict ever occur. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that but it is not what we are about.

The Llangollen Canal (Welsh: Camlas Llangollen) is a navigable canal crossing the border between England and Wales. The waterway links Llangollen in Denbighshire, north Wales, with Hurleston in south Cheshire, via the town of Ellesmere, Shropshire. The name, which was coined in the 1980s, is a modern designation for parts of the historic Ellesmere Canal and the Llangollen navigable feeder, both of which became part of the Shropshire Union Canals in 1846.
The Ellesmere Canal was proposed by industrialists at Ruabon and Brymbo, and two disconnected sections were built. The northern section ran from Ellesmere Port on the River Mersey to Chester, where it joined the Chester Canal, and opened in 1795. Work on the southern section began at Frankton, with a line southwards to Llanymynech, and subsequently, a second section was built westwards towards Trevor. This involved crossing the Afon Ceiriog and the River Dee, which was achieved by building two vast aqueducts, using iron troughs to contain the water. The Ceiriog was crossed at Chirk, and Chirk Aqueduct opened in 1801, to exploit local supplies of iron and coal. The canal then passed through Chirk Tunnel, and reached the southern end of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in 1802, which was not completed until 1805. To join the two halves up, a heavily engineered route from Trevor Basin via Ruabon and Brymbo to the River Dee at Chester was planned, but very little of it was built. Instead, the present route from Frankton to Hurleston Junction on the Chester Canal was constructed, and opened in 1805. As the route never reached the water reservoir at Moss Valley, Wrexham (built in 1786), a navigable feeder was built to Llantisilio where the Horseshoe Falls weir was constructed on the River Dee to supply the canal.
As part of the Shropshire Union system, the canal from Hurleston to Llangollen thrived until the end of the First World War, after which it saw very little traffic. Navigation was formally abandoned under the terms of an Act of Abandonment obtained by the owners, the London Midland and Scottish Railway, in 1944, but the channel was retained as it still supplied water to the main line of the Shropshire Union, and subsequently to the Mid & South East Cheshire Water Board. This arrangement was due to end in 1954, but as there was no alternative supply of water, the powers were extended. Early pioneering cruises of the waterway were made by Tom Rolt in 1947 and 1949, and despite being officially closed, a number of boats started to use it. There was a growing campaign to reopen it, but it was still designated as one of the 'waterways having insufficient commercial prospects to justify their retention for navigation' under government papers published in 1955 and 1958. It was not until the passing of the Transport Act 1968 that the route was finally designated as a cruiseway, and its future was secured. As leisure use of the canals grew, the route was rebranded as The Llangollen Canal in the 1980s, and it has become one of the most popular routes for holidaymakers. Its importance in the history of the British canal system was recognised in 2009, when the 11-mile (18 km) stretch from Gledrid Bridge near Rhoswiel to Horseshoe Falls including Pontcysyllte and Chirk aqueducts was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
