County Hall, Chester
County Hall is a municipal building in Chester, Cheshire.History
Originally Cheshire County Council held their meetings at the Crewe Arms Hotel in Crewe. A purpose-built County Council headquarters, which was designed by E. Mainwaring Parkes, the County Architect, in the Neo-Georgian style, was built on a site immediately to the south east of the old Shire Hall and opened by the Queen in July 1957. Following the dissolution of the County Council in March 2009, County Hall was sold to the University of Chester. It now forms the University's Riverside Campus and accommodates its Faculties of Health and Social Care and Education and Children's Services.
