A 40 page publication looking at the 700 year history of Chester's long since disappeared Norman Castle that was first raised by the forces of William the Conqueror in 1069 and swept away some seven centuries later, to be replaced by the castle complex of Thomas Harrison which continues to remain in place today.

Constructed in a little over two centuries, its later development would help to make Chester one of the most heavily defended city's in all of England and allow for its use as the main military base for the bitter military conflicts between the English Crown and the native Princes of North Wales
