Summary

Description
English: Hawarden Castle Hotel, Queensferry The Hawarden Castle Hotel is nowhere near Hawarden Castle, but it is a stylish name for a hostelry, which would have been busy in 1882 when it is shown on the O.S. map close to the Queen's Ferry (free). This was at a time before before any bridges had been built over the River Dee downstream of Chester. The hotel is now closed and no one stops here any more. The road in front of the camera is the one that crosses the blue bascule bridge, which is just out of sight to the right, and the angled road across the front of the hotel is the road for the first bridge that pre-dated the blue one. That first bridge has been demolished.
