The east side of the esplanade is appropriated to Barracks, which contain excellent and spacious accommodations. Behind the Barracks is the Provost, with an enclosed yard. It is no longer employed for this purpose, having been, some time since, converted into an armoury for pensioners, military library and reading-room, &c. This wing, and the opposite one on the west side of the esplanade, were built at the joint expense of the Crown and the County Palatine. Proceeding through the gate at the east end, we come to THE SESSIONS HOUSE, a neat and commodious edifice, with a tolerably spacious court, magistrates’ and grand jury rooms, and a robing room for counsel on the ground floor; and upstairs are the Clerk of the Peace’s record rooms and other offices. Before leaving the Castle yard, the attention of the visitor will naturally be attracted by memorials of the Crimean war, in the form of two Russian guns, mounted on either side of the grand entrance, under a portico, enclosed with iron railings. On each of these formidable pieces of ordnance is inscribed the following historical memorandum: THIS GUN WAS CAPTURED BY THE ALLIED ARMIES OF ENGLAND, FRANCE, TURKEY, AND SARDINIA, AT SEVASTOPOL, ON THE 8TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1855, AND PRESENTED BY HER MAJESTY TO THE CITIZENS OF CHESTER, IN COMMEMORATION OF THAT ARDUOUS SIEGE. VICTORIA REGINA. Having completed our view of the Castle, we return to continue our walk, proceeding along the walls until we reach the boundary of the Castle, where the tourist will have a fine view of the GROSVENOR BRIDGE. This noble work of art, which is unequalled in the history of bridge-building, crosses the Dee at the south-east angle of the Roodeye, and is approached by a new road from the centre of Bridge-street, which passes by the Castle esplanade, proceeds across the City Walls, and then, by an immense embankment, thrown over a deep valley, to the foot of the bridge. The bridge consists of one main stone arch, with a small dry arch or towing path on each side, by which the land communication is preserved on both sides of the river. The cost of erection was £36,000.
